You know you're a true pro wrestling fan when you know about Ric Flair. Nowadays you see him in the ring and he's looking a little leathery, but he used to be a young man in the game. His nickname was "the Nature Boy," and everyone knew him by his loud "whooo!" He's in the WWE Hall of Fame, and rightly so. He's spent more years wrestling than I've spent alive.
There is something about professional wrestling that brings the entire family into the business. Like many pro wrestlers, Ric Flair's daughter, Charlotte Flair, also joined the business of slamming people through tables. She's held several titles ever since she began her career in 2012, including the last ever Divas championship. Now you can see her perform on Smackdown. Just listen out for the really loud "whoooo!"
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.
