Despite mostly being barren, it's surprisingly expensive to live in Nevada. Now, we wonder what could possibly be behind that uplift in prices? We jest, of course. Nevada is famously the home of Las Vegas, where people turn up to gamble and go home accidentally married. To live there, you'll need a chunky bank balance, and a high tolerance for the party lifestyle. The average cost of housing across the state might be lower than you expect though - it's just shy of $12,000.
There was plenty of gold to be found in Nevada long before gambling took hold of Las Vegas; to this day, it remains America's most significant gold-producing state. There's also the richest silver deposit in the US here too; you'll find that at Comstock Lode. The only thing you might struggle for is water - the land is notoriously dry.
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.
