The golden era of country music was already up and running when Randy Travis was born in 1959, and many thought it had already peaked. They reckoned without the success that Travis would have in the years to come. The North Carolina musician was raised on the sounds of Hank Williams, Gene Autry and others, and they inspired him to pick up the guitar and see what he was capable of himself. He'd mastered the instrument by the time he was ten years old.
Travis took the hard route to make it to the top, spending years performing in country bars within his home state before finally doing what all aspiring country singers do in the end - packing his bags, and heading off to Nashville! With hits like 'Promises,' he went on to become one of the very best ever to do it within the genre.
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.
