It was hard to believe that anyone filling the void Brett Favre left in Green Bay would be able to succeed. However, under the Hall of Fame quarterback's tutelage, he's become one of the greatest quarterbacks of this current generation. Extremely poised and precise, Aaron Rodgers has proven that he's the real deal and the best successor Green Bay could have asked for. Rodgers began his college football career just fifteen miles away from his hometown in Chico, California at Butte Community College in 2002. The following year, Rodgers took his talents to the University of California, Berkeley. After being named MVP of the 2003 Insight Bowl and throwing for 5,469 yards in just two seasons with Cal, Rodgers decided to opt for the 2005 NFL Draft.
Aaron Rodgers was drafted 24th overall in the 2005 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers where he didn't transition into the starting quarterback position until 2008 when Brett Favre announced his initial retirement. Since then, Rodgers has led the Packers to a championship victory in Super Bowl XLV where he also named the game's MVP. He's also been named the NFL MVP on two occasions in 2011 and 2014. In 2013, Rodgers signed a five-year extension with the Packers worth $110 million. In 2018, Rodgers signed an additional four-year contract extension worth $134 million lining his pockets with a total of $66.9 million for that single season.
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.
