Quintorris Lopez "Julio" Jones is arguably the fastest wide receiver in the NFL today. With a 40-yard dash time of 4.39, it's hard to believe the amount of body control, route-running accuracy, and catching ability he contains. In 2008, Julio Jones became the first true freshman to start in a season opener for the University of Alabama in the school's history. In three seasons as a member of the Crisom Tide, Jones started every single game and helped lead the team to a 14-0 record in 2009 which includes a BCS National Championship victory over the Texas Longhorns.
The 6'3 speedster was drafted 6th overall in the 2012 NFL Draft by the Atlanta Falcons where he's played his entire career and racked up some of the most monetizing contracts in NFL history. In his nine seasons in the NFL, Jones has earned six Pro Bowl honors, led the league twice in reception yards (2015, 2018), and has become the quickest receiver to reach 10,000 career receiving yards in NFL history. Jones also holds the NFL record for career average receiving yards per game with 96.7. With accolades such as these, the Falcons shelled out a $66 million, three-year extension with the receiver in September 2019. At only 30-years-old, Jones has a potential earning status of over $163 at this point in his career but has racked up over $103 million to this date.
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.
