We're not the sure what exactly Papa Watt and Mama Watt were feeding their children, but the Watt family has produced three NFL athletes in T. J. Watt, Derek Watt, and J. J. Watt. The eldest of the three brothers in J. J. Watt is our selection for Wisconsin's greatest NFL athlete and for obvious reasons. J. J. played three years of college ball for Central Michigan and the University of Wisconsin where led the team in tackles, forced fumbles, and quarterback hurries during his junior year. Watt's impressive performance led him to be picked 11th overall by the Houston Texans in the 2011 NFL Draft.
Throughout his eight seasons with the Houston Texans, Watt has already claimed franchises records for both sacks and forced fumbles. Watt is also the first player in NFL history to record two 20+ sack seasons in a pro-football career. The 5x Pro Bowler is one of the few defensive players in the league with the ability to switch from defensive end to defensive tackle without losing any type of effectiveness. As of right now, Watt has notched 95 sacks, 468 tackles, and 23 forced fumbles and those numbers will continue to climb as long as he remains healthy. At this pace, J. J. Watt is looking at a Hall of Fame induction as soon as he's eligible.
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.
