You'll commonly see it written or hear it said that professional sportspeople earn too much money, and in most cases that's true, but it doesn't mean they make enough money to support them for the rest of their lives after retirement. Even if it does, some ex-professionals don't want to sit at home and do nothing when their playing careers are over, so they find something else to do. Adrian Dantley is a good example.
Dantley spent fifteen seasons in the NBA, becoming an All-Star in the process. He coached for a few years after he finished playing, but now he does something else entirely. He's a crossing guard in his home town of Silver Spring in Maryland. Dantley says that the job helps him to keep a routine, as it gives him something to get up for in the morning.
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.
