Bill Russell is the most decorated and winningest NBA player of all-time and it's deservingly so due to his skill level and hardcore style of play during his era in the professional basketball league. Russell currently has tied the record for most for most championships won by an athlete with hockey player, Henri Richard. Matter of fact, prior to stepping onto a professional basketball court, Russell won two consecutive NCAA titles in 1955 and 1956 before being picked second overall in the 1956 NBA Draft by the St. Louis Hawks and being traded to the Boston Celtics where he spent his entire career.
Russell earned a total of eleven NBA titles throughout his thirteen year NBA career and made him the centerpiece of the Boston Celtics franchise/dynasty. Russell also won five Most Valuable Player Awards and made twelve NBA All-Star appearances as well. To this very day, you can catch the Hall of Famer sideline at all major NBA games.
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.
