There are quarterbacks, and then there's Tom Brady. If you're a certain age, you probably pretended to be Tom Brady when you were running around with a football in your back yard. In fact, Brady was so successful in the NFL that kids are probably still doing that now. With four MVP awards from the Super Bowl and a record number of divisional titles, Brady is like a superhero that's come to life and decided to play sports.
The superhero comparisons don't end with his performances on the field, though. It hasn't escaped our attention that Brady could have been cast to play He-Man in a movie about the popular animated hero and children's toy. There was a movie years ago, in which Dolph Lundgren played the part, but if they were going to do it all again, we think Brady would make the ideal Prince of Eternia. He's even got the same hairstyle - which should be impossible for a human being!
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.
