Brett Favre is one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever take the field and played an insane two decades in the league. The Gulfport, Mississippi-bred Hall of Famer played his collegiate ball in his home state at the University of Southern Mississippi for four years (1987-1990). Originally, Southern Miss wanted Favre to play defensive back, but he insisted on playing quarterback where he broke several school records and held them until the arrival of Austin Davis. During his college career, Favre threw for a total of 7,695 yards and passed for 52 touchdowns.
Brett Favre was drafted 33rd overall in the second round of the 1991 NFL Draft by the Atlanta Falcons. Unfortunately, things didn't go too well in Atlanta for Favre, his first pass an NFL quarterback was intercepted and returned for a touchdown. He was cut after one season with the team and picked up by the Green Bay Packers where he would play sixteen out of the twenty seasons of his NFL career. Favre raked in $100.6 million from the Packers while also winning a Super Bowl (XXXI). In 2008, Favre signed a seven-year contract with New York Jets worth $80 million but was released after a single season. Before officially retiring in 2011, Favre would play two seasons with the Minnesota Vikings and earn $28 million.
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.
