Instead, he's doing just about the most selfless thing imaginable: saving lives on a regular basis. At At 43 years old, he's now a paramedic, working and living in Washington DC. Although the occasional fan might recognize him, he does it purely for the good of others, not for recognition. He does appear at the odd comic convention, though, just to remind his loyal fans how much he loves them.
One of the most interesting facts about Austin St. John is that like his character on the show, he's a martial arts buff. In fact, he's been practicing since he was five years old, and is now a second-degree black belt in Taekwondo and first-degree black belt in Judo. He's such a master that he's written his own book on the subject, called Karate Warrior: A Guide To Martial Arts.
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.
