I love the premise of the First Annual Rock and Roll Celebrity Sports Classic. It was a sports competition show on prime time TV where different musical stars like Leif Garret, the Jackson 5, and Joan Jett would compete in sports against each other. It is such an absurd premise given that some of them may have no history in sports. If there is one thing I love, it is seeing people who are successful at one thing, totally suck at another thing.
There were some heavy hitters involved in the show, like The Commodores, ELO, Boston, Gladys Knight and the Pips, Earth, Wind, & Fire, Rod Stewart, Kenny Loggins, and Leif Garret. I would love to see something like this brought back. We have plenty of great musicians to include. Who wouldn't want to see Pitbull run the 400 yard dash against Justin Bieber?
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.
