Golden Boy by name, Golden Boy by nature. Oscar De La Hoya has the bank balance to go with his auspicious nickname after a career of success both inside and outside the boxing ring. De La Hoya has the distinction of winning ten versions of the world championship across six different weight classes, beating larger men with his speed and smaller men with his power. Only the rise of Manny Pacquaio could stop him, and after tasting the Filipino's power in a 2008 loss, he decided his time as a competitor was over.
Wanting to stay in boxing, he's stayed focus on his Golden Boy Promotions company, which was originally created to promote his own fights, and has been involved in promoting some of the biggest matches in recent years. Ricky Hatton, Bernard Hopkins and Deontay Wilder have all fought under the Golden Boy banner. As of January 2017, they're partnered to work exclusively with ESPN, and bring the network a total of 48 fights in two years.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
