In contrast to his famous role as Spencer Reid in 'Criminal Minds,' Nevada native Matthew Gray Gubler seems like quite a laid-back guy. He was born and raised in Las Vegas, and majored in acting from the Las Vegas Academy of International Studies, Visual and Performing Arts - but only took the course because they wouldn't offer him a qualification in film-making. As much as he obviously enjoys being in front of a camera - he is a model, after all - we always get the impression that he'd be happier in the director's chair.
Gubler has been allowed to indulge his enthusiasm for making entertainment rather than starring in it on occasion. He's directed eleven episodes of 'Criminal Minds,' along with other credits away from the show. When he's not doing something related to television or films you can find him painting - he's a gifted artist. Taking everything into account, it would seem he's one of those irritating people who are just good at everything they turn their hand to!
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.
