Prior to his arrival in Denver, the Broncos were one of the historically bad teams in the AFC West division. It didn't take long before his prowess to rise to prominence took over and he became one of the greatest quarterbacks to play the game. John Elway's evasiveness and willingness to make a daring throw is partially the reason for his success. While names like Terrell Davis were huge contributors to the Broncos success, the Broncos might not have been as successful without John Elway leading the way.
After having an All-American collegiate career at the University of Standford, Elway was drafted 1st overall in the 1983 NFL Draft by the Baltimore Colts. Controversary surrounding Elway's unwillingness to play in Baltimore led him to be traded by the Denver Broncos where he would play all sixteen seasons of his NFL career. In those sixteen years, Elway would throw a total of 51,475 yards with a passer rating of 79.9 while leading the Denver Broncos to back-to-back Super Bowl victories in Super Bowls XXXII and XXXIII. Elway has notched one NFL Most Valuable Player Award in 1987 and nin Pro Bowl invitations.
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.
