At one point in time, John McCain would have been considered the most notable Arizona Cardinals fan in all of the land. Unfortunately, McCain passed away in his hometown of Cornville, AZ in August of last year so, those honors have since then been passed to country singer/songwriter, Blake Shelton. The seven-time Grammy-nominated country artist isn't afraid of the big stage himself as he's faced a multitude of didn't adversities throughout his music career. However, he has come out on top as a multi-platinum selling musician and the soon to be spouse of the ever-so-beautiful Gwen Stefani who just so happens to be a musician herself.
Unfortunately, for Shelton's Arizona Cardinals, the football organization performed the worst out of all 32 teams with a record of 3 wins and 13 losses but, luckily, will be granted the first pick of the 2019 NFL Draft. And despite his team's dismal performance, it didn't stop Shelton from showing up to team practices, attending games, and even receiving his own jersey from the franchise's executives. It takes guts to hold your team down through tough times but, Blake Shelton is loyal and it shows.
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.
