Wilt Chamberlain was so unstoppable that the NBA had to change the rules in order to even out the competition with the induction of the goaltending rule. Wilt 'The Stilt' was nearly impossible to stop on the offensive side of the ball with his amazing reach which allowed him to be a force as well as on the defensive side of the court. Chamberlain originally began his basketball career with the Harlem Globetrotters which resulted in him being picked up by the Philadelphia Warriors in 1959. From there he spent stints with the Philadelphia 76ers and Los Angeles Lakers before retiring in 1973.
Chamberlain is the only player to ever score 100 points in a single game and also has won three NBA Championships as a member of both the Philadelphia 76ers and the Los Angeles Lakers in years 1967 and 1972. Wilt earned Most Valuable Player honors four times throughout his career and was a thirteen-time NBA All-Star. Unfortunately, Wilt passed away at the age of 63-years-old due to congestive heart failure. Rest in power to the legend who will never be forgotten.
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.
