Let's be honest - becoming President is just about the only thing that Sylvester Stallone hasn't done. He was the de facto action movie star of the 1980s and has enjoyed a career renaissance in the past decade by bringing both Rocky and Rambo back to the big screen. All this from a guy who initially had his 'Rocky' script turned down dozens of time by producers, and was once so poor that he had to sell his dog.
Stallone epitomizes the American Dream - he's a self-made man who came from nothing, and achieved everything he has through hard work and determination. His speech in 'Rocky Balboa' about how life is more about how well you can take a punch than how hard you can hit is the stuff that political commercials are made of, too. Stallone could be an inspirational President.
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.
