Not only has Ben Roethlisberger stood the test of time, but he's also proven himself as one of the better performing quarterbacks of this current generation. While he might be currently injured and unable to perform for the 2019-2020 NFL season, he's a reliable quarterback, but his character comes into question in regards to his off the field curricular activities. With that said, Roethlisberger attended Miami University from 2000 to 2003. After being redshirted his freshman year, the 6'5, 240lb quarterback would go on to start at quarterback for the Redhawks and shatter twenty-one school records including two NCAA records for most games in a single season with over 200 yards in passing (14) and most consecutive games with over 200 yards in passing (14). His senior year, Roethlisberger was named the Mid-American Conference MVP.
After an impressive showing at Miami University, Ben Roethlisberger was drafted 11th overall in the 2004 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers where he's played his entire sixteen-season career. After winning Offensive Rookie of the Year his first season as a Steeler, Roethlisberger in his second season with the club led the Steelers to a championship defeating the Seattle Seahawks 21-10 in Super Bowl XL. Three years later, he led the Pennsylvania-based team to a second Super Bowl victory in Super Bowl XLIII. Since then, the 6x Pro Bowler has led the Steelers to a third Super Bowl and racked up two passing leader privileges for the years 2014 and 2018.
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.
