In the world of soccer, teams will pay a lot of money for someone who can consistently score goals. They're the most valuable commodity in the sport. Historically, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has scored a lot of goals.
Adored and reviled in equal measure for his outspoken personality and his arrogance, and his habit of talking about himself in the third person, the Swedish striker has had a mercurial career which has seen him play for some of the biggest teams in the world. As a teenager he was offered a trial by Arsenal, but turned it down, saying "Zlatan doesn't do auditions!" Barcelona, Inter Milan, Paris Saint Germain and Manchester United have all benefited from his talents at various stages, and he's not done yet. Currently plying his trade for LA Galaxy in his mid-30s, the United States has only just found out what Ibrahimovic is all about.
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.
