It's always good to have a back up plan if you're playing professional sports. You're only one injury or indiscretion away from never playing again. In terms of football, there aren't many other jobs that can use your skill of running into other men at high speeds. For Mike Mayock, after he was done playing for the New York Giants, he became a notable writer and analyst for the NFL. That's how you keep that money coming in, even when the tackles stop.
His daughter, Leigh Mayok, has gotten involved in football, just like her father, though she's not playing or anything like that. She used to do PR for the Minnesota Vikings, and currently works in sports entertainment. She's active on twitter, promoting an organization to stop blood clotting. Surprisingly, according to the site 274 people die every day from blood clots.
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.
