John Tyler was the 10th President of the United States, after briefly being the tenth vice president in 1841 he ascended to the presidency after William Henry Harrison's death (who passed away from pneumonia one month after he was elected). Tyler was the first vice president to become chief executive due to the death of his predecessor, setting a precedent that continued to occur in the future.
Tyler was born on March 29, 1790, in a good standing family in Virginia. He began his political career in 1811 when he was elected to the Virginia legislature at the age of 21. He served as a United States Representative (1817-21), as state governor (1825-27), and as a United States Senator (1827-36). After the end of his presidency, Tyler moved to his 1200-acre plantation and raised a family with his second wife. Tyler died at the age of 71 on January 18, 1862, in Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy.
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.
