Compared to California, Colorado looks quite reasonable! The cost of housing here sits somewhere around the $15,000 mark, with food prices sticking at almost exactly $8,000 per year for one person living alone. Right now, it seems food costs around the same in every state, but you'll see that figure change as we get further through our list.
Living in the Centennial State - which got its nickname thanks to achieving statehood exactly one hundred years after the Declaration of Independence was signed - is all about the outdoor life, and the breathtaking scenery. If you don't like the outdoors, then you've come to the wrong state! There are plenty of wealthy residents in Colorado who help to push the average income and cost up - especially those residents who can afford to go skiing in their spare time.
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.
