When you're playing a teen on screen, it helps if you're short. It generally means you can carry on playing the part long after your teenage years are behind you, because you still have the (lack of) height to pull it off. That's how Frankie Muniz managed to carry on playing 'Malcolm in the Middle' for as long as he did - he's 5 foot 5. He could probably have done even more as an actor in his younger years, but he never treated it as a priority. He tried to break into motor racing for a while, and also drummed for an indie rock band.
Sadly, Muniz suffered a stroke a few years ago, and it had a debilitating effect on his career. He's recovering well, but said in 2017 that the stroke had robbed him of many of his memories, including most of his time in 'Malcolm in the Middle.' He also doesn't take on much acting work anymore, because he struggles to remember lines. He can still light up a screen though, which is why he makes such a natural host of 'Dancing with The Stars: Juniors.'
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.
