Indiana is one of those blessed states where you'll be paying less than five figures for both the roof over your head, and the food on your table. $9,600 is the going rate within the housing market, and $6,900 on top of that should mean that you're not going hungry. Indiana is where you can head to if you want to live the American Dream on a budget.
While you can feed yourself for a reasonable price here, Indiana is also doing all it can to put food on the table for the rest of the United States, too. Only four states in the country produce more corn for grain purposes than Indiana, which makes sense given that it's located firmly within 'The Corn Belt.' Interestingly, although plenty of people know that Indiana is called the 'Hoosier State,' nobody can actually put their finger on why that is, or when it started.
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.
