Boomer Sooner! It doesn't break the bank to live in Oklahoma - quite the opposite. As with most agricultural states, housing is cheap, and food is right on your doorstep, so it costs less. Add this to the list of places you can acquire housing and eating for around $15,000. Ask someone from outside of the US what they know this state best for, and they'll probably tell you it's the musical of the same name. The state presumably agrees - they took their official state song from it.
Whereas there are plenty of places you'll find natural lakes in the USA, all the ones you'll find in Oklahoma are human-made, which is quite a staggering achievement. You won't find a state that takes college football more seriously, and nor will you find one that's quite so frequently visited by tornadoes. There's no 'average' weather in Oklahoma; you're either baking in the dust, or you're in the middle of a storm.
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.
