Everybody's favorite Game of Thrones actor, Peter Dinklage, can't say enough nice things about his theater director wife, Erica Schmidt. The height difference doesn't bother this very private couple, who only seem to be focused on each other and their family. Born with achondroplasia, which is a form of dwarfism, Dinklage stands at 4'5" and is actually only three inches shorter than Danny DeVito!
The couple got married back in 2005 and had their first daughter in 2011. Both Dinklage and Schmidt value their privacy immensely and have never revealed the name of their daughter. In 2017, Schmidt gave birth to their second child and the pair yet again declined to release a name. They also refused to disclose the gender of their second baby. We can respect that - it's not really anyone else's business.
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.
