Mercedes Justine Kaestner-Varnado, better known by her in-ring moniker, Sasha Banks grew up as an avid fan of All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling (AJW) and anime which explains her high-energy, high-fly style of wrestling. Banks also happens to be cousins with rappers/producerfs, Snoop Dogg and Daz Dillinger, both of which helped Banks develop her in-ring persona. With risky moves like the Wheelbarrell Bulldog, the Backstabber, the Frog Splash and her patented Bank's Statement, Banks is one of the premier acts in all of pro-wrestling.
Banks began her wrestling career in Woburn, Massachusetts under the Chaotic Wrestling (CW) promotion in 2010. While wrestling for CW, Banks obtained the Chaotic Wrestling Women's Championship. Banks also collected the IWE Women's Championship and the RWC No Limitz Championship before joining the WWE in 2012. Since joinging the WWE Banks has racked up the NXT Women's Championship (1x) and a record-tying WWE Raw Women's Championship (4x). If Banks continues to stay healthy and athletic as she is, she can be looking forward to being a WWE Hall of Fame inductee.
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.
