The Pittsburgh Steelers are currently in shambles and it appears as if the team may need to begin the rebuilding process. Their star running back in Le'Veon Bell held out for an entire season in demand of a restructured contract and now, Antonio Brown is claiming he wants out of the Steel City as well. But, even though the Steelers might be imploding right before our eyes, the Pittsburgh football organization has the support of famed rapper and notorious marijuana enthusiast, Wiz Khalifa.
One of Wiz Khalifa's biggest hit songs to date in "Black and Yellow" has become the theme song for the Steelers and Khalifa has performed for fans in Heinz Field countless times. In many ways, Wiz has become an unofficial member of the Steelers roster as he pops in-and-out of town to show support to his hometown football squad. Let's just hope the Steelers get it together again so, they can make it back into the postseason.
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.
