Tennis is a very difficult sport to earn money in. Only the very best players can earn a living out of it without sponsorship from elsewhere, and because it's an individual sport, there are only so many seats at the top table. Fortunately for Novak Djokovic, he's very good at tennis.
Playing in an era of tennis that's been dominated by Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, Djokovic has emerged as the new poster boy of the sport. Still in his prime in his early 30s, he's won the prestigious Wimbledon tournament four times to go with two US Opens, one French Open and an amazing six Australian Opens. With a charming and charismatic personality, Djokovic's good nature and ability to communicate in several languages has seen him appointed as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. He also sells a range of nutritional food products under the brand name Djokolife.
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.
