The Sharp Asset, or Ba-Shar as it is also referred to, is a cross between the popular Basset Hound and Shar-Pei breeds. Their coat is fairly easy to maintain and should be brushed at least twice a week. Like the Basset Hound, the Ba-Shar's coat tends to be short, dense, and coarse with colors ranging from chocolate, cream, white, or black, to fawn, brown, and golden shades.
They are very intelligent, loyal dogs and make great family pets. Even though they will grow to be on the larger side, the Sharp Asset can live in an apartment setting provided their owner takes them through regular exercise routines every day. Fully grown, both male and female Ba-Shars can reach just over a foot at the shoulder and weigh between 40 to 50 pounds.
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.
