You would be marginally better off living in Arizona than Alabama - but only marginally. You'd need a slight uplift in your wage to come here, and the cost of living when it comes to food and housing is surprisingly comparable. $11,500 per year will get you somewhere to live, and a further $8,000 should be sufficient to keep you alive when it comes to making sure you have enough food to eat.
There are a couple of things which go in favor of Arizona's economy, and help keep the prices down. Firstly, it's a right-to-work state which, regardless of what you think about the political ramifications, does seem to help keep the cost of living down. Secondly, massive amounts of money flow into the state from elsewhere thanks to Grand Canyon tourism. It tends to help with the costs of keeping a state running when other people are willing to pay just to see it!
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.
