Just like Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan is one of the most famous icons of US politics, both at home and abroad. He died on June 5, 2014, and he is known for being the 40th President of the United States. He served for two full terms, between the years of 1981 and 1989. Prior to becoming president, he was a Hollywood actor, which certainly helped shape and form the public's opinion of him.
Given that he was the first Hollywood actor to become president, Reagan set an example that others, like Arnold Schwarzenegger, followed. First, create a popular media persona, and then use that media person to get more votes than your opponents. Even the current president, Donald J. Trump has certainly had help from his earlier media success in gaining the presidency.
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.
