Jenna Renee Browne is a fitness model who has appeared on the pages of such famous publications as Sports Illustrated, Shape, Maxim, and Muscle & Fitness' Swimwear Special 2012. When growing up she was as far away from a fitness model as you could get. She had a decent body shape when she was young, but as age was creeping up on her, she started gaining weight. Soon, a constant battle with her weight ensued, fluctuating between being overweight and anorexic.
At one point Browne ended up in a hospital. For her, this meant that she had to radically change her life. Not willing to gain the weight back, she decided instead to begin focusing on proper means of diet and exercise. Before long, she was lifting weights, eating six meals a day, and living an extremely healthy lifestyle. Though she lived through tragedy, in the end, it made her resolute in pursuing her goals. Browne story is an inspiration for many ladies out there.
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.
