James Brian Hellwig, who later legally changed his name to Warrior, and was known by his wrestling moniker, The Ultimate Warrior, is another wrestling personality that has transcended recognition just within the sport. Matter of fact, The Ultimate Warrior's popularity increased after his retirement from wrestling over the past decade. The neon tassels, the bright face paint, and the unpredictable monologues allowed him to become one of the biggest wrestling characters of the 1980s and '90s.
Unfortunately, The Ultimate Warrior did struggle with drug abuse, contract disputes, and more throughout his stint in the WWF, which hindered his career. But, Warrior remained in the hearts of fans even though he acted as both a heel and face for the company and ended up taking an absence from the ring as well. Sadly, days after being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame and 24 hours after making his appearance on WWE RAW in over 18 years, Warrior collapsed while walking to his car with his wife and was pronounced dead April 8, 2014. There isn't much to say other than rest in power to one of the greatest wrestling personas of all-time in The Ultimate Warrior.
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.
