Cheyanne Vlismas is one of the younger fighters to be featured on today's list. She is just 22-years old (born in 1995-06-25), in the city of Clearwater, Florida, United States of America. She is a part of the MMA strawweight category, due to her 115-pound weight (that's 52kg for our international readers). Her height sits at 5'4", which translates to 162cm in the metric measuring system, which is about the average female height in the US.
Since Cheyanne has to keep a low weight and high amount of mass for her MMA fights, she is obviously going to favor a similar type of diet and exercise regimen like the other girls. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is her obvious weapon of choice, combined with eating a lot of plant-based and animal-based sources of fat and protein.
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.
