California is known for its hooping community and there is no other pro-hooper in the state's history that could hold a light to Reggie Miller's flame. Ok, that might be a little dramatic especially in the company of names like Baron Davis, Jason Kidd, Paul Pierce, and a ton of other qualified pro-basketball players. But none of those individuals named ever struck fear into the hearts of their opponents like Reggie Miller did.
At one point, Reggie Miller held the title for most three-pointers made by a single player with 2,560. Ray Allen would go on to take Miller's crown from him years later. Still, there was never a shot Reggie Miller was afraid as he played his entire NBA career with the Indiana Pacers. Miller's also known for the one greatest moments in NBA history eight points in nine seconds against the New York Knicks in game one of the 1995 Playoffs to steal the first game at Madison Square Garden. To this day, Miller is known as 'The Knick Killer.'
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.
