There must be something in the water in Ohio because the Buckeye State is one of those territories has a ton of quality NFL athletes born within its borders. From Bob Brown to Orlando Pace to Cris Carter to Charles Woodson and so many more, there's almost no wrong answer when it comes to crowning an NFL king of Ohio. However, we've come to terms with giving that accolade to none other than Hall of Fame middle linebacker, Jack Lambert. Lambert played his collegiate football at Kent State and was selected 46th overall by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the second round of the 1974 NFL Draft.
All of those teams that passed on Lambert regretted as the toothless linebacker wreaked havoc on the entire NFL for the entire eleven seasons that he played. While playing his entire career with the Steelers, Lambert collected four rings (Super Bowls IX, X, XIII, XIV), was invited to nine Pro Bowls, selected as First-Team All-Pro six times, and selected as Defensive Player of the Year in 1976. Lambert made sure every offensive line, quarterback, and offensive coordinator acknowledged his presence on the field, every single down he played.
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.
