The Houston Texans have only existed for twenty years, so with a young franchise, we have young talent to crown as their greatest athlete to date. While Andre Johnson did play the majority of his fourteen-year career with the Texans and become a 7x Pro Bowler, defensive end, Justin James Watt is taking the title for the Houston Texans. In a where lprotecting offensive players has become a focal point, J. J. Watt still strikes fear into quarterbacks and running backs alike. His agility and brute force terrorizes offensive linemen night in and night out when he's on the field.
After just two seasons of collegiate football at the University of Wisconsin, Watt was prepared to begin his NFL career. The 6'5, 290lbs defensive lineman was selected 11th overall by the Houston Texans in the 2011 NFL Draft and has been a member of the organization ever since. In just nine seasons with the team, Watt is responsible for 468 tackles and 95 sacks. With the season currently in play those numbers are only going to increase for the 5x Pro Bowler and 3x NFL Defensive Player of the Year. The sky is the limit for J. J. Watt as of now, all he has to do is remain healthy and the Hall of Fame will be calling his name.
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.
