Intensity is the name of the game for Mercedes Martinez, who wrestles under her own name. There are very few wrestlers out there, male or female that match Martinez's passion in the ring when she's performing. Despite not being on some of the major wrestling platforms, she's one of the most popular personalities in the game amongst true wrestling aficionados. It doesn't matter if she's wrestling men or women, she has the ability to punish her opponents with multiple suplexes every match as a tribute to Eddie Guerrero and her finishers in the Surfboard Dragon Sleeper and Fisherman Buster are amongst some of the most brutal in the game.
Prior to ever considering a pro-wrestling career, Martinez excelled as a basketball player. Unfortunately, due to an injury sustained while in college she ditched the hardwood for the mat and began to pursue wrestling in 2000. Since then. Mercedes Martinez has become an independent circuit queen, currently holding the WXW Women's championship, the Phoenix Of RISE Championship, World Association of Wrestling's Bellatrix World Championship, the IndyGurlz Championship, the Indy Gurlz Australian Championship, and the AWS Heavyweight Championship. Martinez just can't lose.
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.
