Floyd Mayweather is a man so rich that his nickname is 'money', and if you're going to choose a name like that for yourself, you have to live up to it. We don't think anyone can accuse Mayweather of missing an opportunity to line his own pockets. Whilst the boxing world laughed at and derided his boxing vs UFC clash with Conor McGregor, Mayweather was laughing back at them and watching his bank account swell by $300m.
It took serious talent for Mayweather to get where he is - he was arguably, pound for pound, the best boxer in the world for a long time, beating Manny Pacquiao to end any real debate about that. He now claims to be retired for the final time, meaning he leaves the sport with a career record of 50-0, undefeated. Outside the ring, he's competed in a wrestling match for WWE at 'WrestleMania', and was also a contestant on 'Dancing with the Stars'.
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.
