You may not like race car driving, but I can guarantee you one thing: you know the name Dale Earnhardt. He is the most famous and popular Nascar driver, or should I say “was.” He tragically died on February 18th, 2001 while competing in the Daytona 500. During the final lap, he was part of a three-car crash that killed him instantly. It is insanely ironic that he would die on the final lap. Nascar stock cars go in excess of 200 miles per hour, so when the tiniest of mistakes are made, the damage is absolutely devastating. That being said, there is nothing like the thrill of driving that fast.
He began racing when he was 24 years old and was given the title, “The Intimidator.” He won seven Winston Cup Championships and is now followed by his son, Dale Earnhardt Jr who is also a Nascar driver.
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.
