Yeah, initially looking at this guy you might not think much of him. But he'd definitely bust your a** if you came into the paint with some weak lay-up attempt. The legendary Kevin McHale didn't have much competition to beat out for the Minnesota state crown but that's mainly due to his own set of extreme accomplishments. Hailing from the small town of Hibbing, Minnesota, Kevin McHale was able to become a local legend, ranking second in all-time career points (1,704) and rebounds (950) at the University of Minnesota.
McHale's 6'10 frame and elite skill set translated directly to the professional level as he was drafted to the Boston Celtics third overall in the 1980 NBA Draft. McHale went on to become a 7x NBA All-Star, 3x NBA All-Defensive First Team roster member, and 3x NBA Champion. It also doesn't hurt being named an inductee into the Basketball Hall of Fame and then going on to being a general manager, head coach, and television analyst for the game you love. Youngsters, get acquainted with the legend that is Kevin McHale, you will not be disappointed.
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.
