Richard Milhous Nixon is one of the most famous US presidents, even in international circles. While he may not be as well-known abroad as George Washington, many Americans, even younger ones, do know him. He is a polarizing figure, much like current US President, Donald J. Trump. Nixon served as the 37th president of the US, from the years of 1969 to 1974. He resigned from office before his term ended, and he is the only person to do so.
Before his role as US president, he served as the 36th vice president of the United States, from the years of 1953 to 1961. Prior to that, he was a US representative and a Senator in the state of California. He was born in Yorba Linda, California, and he completed undergraduate studies at Whittier College. Afterward, he graduated from Duke University, getting a degree in law in 1937, two years before the onset of WWII.
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.
