We understand that basketball players aren't like us regular humans. They're all giants, with oversized bodies. They can't just walk into an average store and buy a suit off the rails; chances are they need to find a specialist venue, or have something specifically tailored for them. Kobe Bryant probably struggled to find an outstanding outfit to go to prom in; especially during his pre-fame years when he couldn't just pay one of the world's greatest tailors to solve the problem for him.
Considering all of the above, he's done just fine here. If you're in doubt, always go for the classic look, and you'll be in no danger of embarrassing yourself. He's also sending the world an early statement about how cool he is by passing on a tie. Ties sometimes feel like the most unnecessary garment of them all, and if you can play it off like Bryant, then why should you bother with one?
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.
