Neil Patrick Harris serves as a constant reminder for people never to ask their parents how they met. If the story is anything like the one which was told on 'How I Met Your Mother' - in which Harris starred - it will probably drag on for years and then end disappointingly, having lost all its steam halfway through the tale. Harris shouldn't be defined by the show, though - he's an immensely gifted actor, having won as many awards for his appearances on stage as he has on-screen.
Aside from his charm and skill, Harris has always struck us as an intelligent man. Is his wit sharp enough for him to be the Riddler from the animated version of 'Batman?' We only as because if you put a little green hat on him, along with a cute purple eye mask, you're basically looking at the same person. We didn't have Harris pegged as a criminal mastermind, but 'How I Met Your Mother' was something of a cruel joke, so now we're not sure.
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.
