As well as being very close to Indiana alphabetically, Iowa is almost identical when it comes to the strain - or perhaps that should be a lack thereof - it will put on your financial resources to build a life here. Housing yourself should cost you barely over $9,000, and your annual grocery shop should be less than seven thousand dollars when all is told.
There's a bit of healthy competition between Iowa and Indiana when it comes to producing corn and other agricultural goods. In recent years, Iowa has had the edge when it comes to volume and value. You don't become known as 'the land where tall corn grows' without good reason - even if it isn't a nickname that particularly rolls off the tongue! Also, if you've never been to a state fair in Iowa, you haven't lived. Add it to your list of things to do.
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.
