After Bernie Ecclestone, the name most associated with Formula 1 on a business level is probably Eddie Jordan. A former racing driver, Jordan started the Jordan F1 team after his retirement, running it from 1991 until he decided to sell it in 2005. He also ran Formula 3 and F3000 teams, which gave many legendary drivers their start in racing.
Future World Champions Nigel Mansell, Damon Hill, Michael Schumacher and Ayrton Senna all made their debuts driving Jordan's cars, and viewed him as a mentor during their early years as competitors. He remains involved in the sport to this day as a TV analyst on race days, and when he's not at track side you may find him in small venues in England or Ireland, playing drums with his band V10. You may recognize the V10 name from a brand of vodka, which is made by a company owned by Jordan.
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.
