Joe Montana was a huge deal for me since I lived in the Bay Area during his heyday playing for the San Francisco 49ers. He was also a huge deal for me because his name sounded like famous Italian actor, Joe Montegna. I don't know why, but that always tickled me. Try to think about Joe Montana without pronouncing it Montegna. His nickname was Joe Cool, probably because anyone with the name Joe gets that nickname, and because he always kept his cool no matter how intense the game got.
I wonder if Joe Montana kept his cool when he was making his daughter, Elizabeth Montana (gross, I know, but I had to). Not much is known about her, except for some sexy bikini pictures, but with a father like Joe Montana, she can just chill if she wants.
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.
