There isn't a lot of pro-ball talent pouring out of South Dakota, but there is a worthy adversary to hold the crown for the Mount Rushmore State in Mike Miller. While Mike Miller wasn't wildly athletic, he quickly became known for his long-distance shooting ability during his collegiate stint at the University of Florida. After two years with the Florida Gators, Miller declared himself into the NBA Draft where he was selected fifth overall by the Orlando Magic in 2000.
It didn't take long for Mike Miller to become a sharp-shooting journeyman playing for the likes of the Magic, the Memphis Grizzlies (twice), Minnesota Timberwolves, Washington Wizards, Miami Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Denver Nuggets where ended his career after the 2016-17 NBA season. Mike Miller snagged the Rookie of the Year honors in 200, won Sixth Man of the Year in 2006, and earned two back-to-back rings as a member of the Miami Heat (2012, 2013). These days Mike Miller is working as an assistant coach with the University of Memphis Tigers.
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.
