The state of Delaware isn't known for producing some of the world's greatest physical specimens but the state didn't fail when it came to the molding of Frederick Seawright better known by his wrestling moniker, Brickhouse Brown. While only standing at 5'8, Brickhouse was literally a powerhouse weighing over 240 pounds. He appeared to be sculpted of marble while he had the athletic prowess of any of the wrestling greats you could imagine.
Surprisingly, Brown didn't have an extensive career in the WWE but he did have two exhibition matches within the brand facing Hunter Hearst Hemsley and Henry O. Godwinn. Brown had longer stints with wrestling companies like the American Wrestling Association and Continental Wrestling Association. Unfortunately, Brickhouse Brown passed away in July 2018 of prostate cancer at the age of 57. The wrestling community has since then come together to honor his memory as a wrestling great.
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.
