You know you've got something special when you've competed at the highest level of a sport, and then you go on to coach two great teams in that same sport. That goes to show that you not only have the playing chops, but you also understand the game on a whole other level as well. That's the story of Mike Woodson,who used to play in the NBA and now coaches the Los Angeles Clippers. In the past he has also coached the New York Knicks. That's quite a resume.
His daughter, Mariah Woodson, played for Georgia Tech, but not as a basketball player like her father. Mariah played volleyball for Georgia Tech. Oddly enough, her sister is also a volleyball player. It looks like despite their father's influence, a different sport called to them.
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.
