Io Shirai's agility is something to be admired, but her willingness to take risks in the ring is what really captures the eye of wrestling fans around the world. The Kamakura, Japan-bred wrestler is a high fly act that has become a staple internationally. While known for risking her body with Suicide Dives and top turnbuckle Asai Moonsaults, she has a taste for blood incorporating moves like the Handstand Double Knee Drop, running Corner Double Knee Strike, and Tiger Feint AKA the 619 into her wrestling style.
Io Shirai born, Masami Odate, began her professional wrestling journey alongside her sister as a tag team collective in 2007. The two traveled between Mexico and Japan working together before, Odate took her talents to the World Wonder Ring Stardom, from 2011 to 2018, where she would become a historic staple for the brand. In Stardom alone, Shirai racked up the Artist of Stardom Championship (6x) Goddess of Stardom Tag Team Championship (1x) Championship (1x), SWA World Championship (1x), Wonder of Stardom Championship (2x), and World of Stardom Championship (2x) making her one of the most-winningest acts Stardom has ever seen. Since then, Shirai has signed a deal with the WWE and is currently wrestling under the NXT brand.
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.
