What's with all of these positively gigantic men and their extremely dainty partners? Comedian Sacha Baron Cohen (best known as our favorite Kazakhstani, Borat) and actress Isla Fisher are another one for the list, with a whole foot between them. After meeting at a party in Fisher's home country, Australia, all the way back in 2002, the couple have been going strong ever since.
In fact, Fisher actually converted to Judaism in order to marry Baron Cohen in 2010, proving they really will go the extra mile for love. The couple now share two daughters, Olive and Elula, and a son, Montgomery. Baron Cohen's controversial brand of comedy often causes outcry all over the world, but this couple's strong relationship and family life are completely scandal-free. We bet they'll be raising some pretty funny and intelligent kids.
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.
