The idea of a professional wrestler holding political office isn't as absurd as it appears on first glance. Jesse Ventura was Governor of Minnesota for many years. Glenn Jacobs, better known to wrestling fans as 'Kane,' is the current mayor of Knox County. Wrestlers usually have over-the-top, larger-than-life personalities; exactly the kind of characters which inspire and excite others. Johnson has more than most, and has already translated his charisma in the ring to a hugely successful movie career.
Johnson has been asked about standing for President before and usually dismisses the suggestion with a smile and a joke. He's spoken at both the Democratic and Republican conventions before, though, and considers himself to be an independent. In short, he knows how to play to both sides of the gallery. The idea of the Rock as President does amuse us - imagine him telling Congress to know its role and shut its mouth!
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.
