Falling back towards the national average, you could lead a comfortable life in Michigan for a reasonable living salary. You'd be paying a smidgen over $10,000 for your accommodation, and a pinch below £7,000 for your food. Whereas other states have one or two cities which drag their figures up artificially, Michigan's most significant city actually drags it down. Everybody knows how badly Detroit has suffered over the past ten or twenty years, and the economy around it has deteriorated badly.
There's obviously much more to Michigan than Detroit, and most of the things to see there aren't in cities at all! We can't talk about Michigan without discussing the famous lake, but the lake is just one of several in the area. There's more fresh water here than there is anywhere else in the United States. Fast-food lovers might be interested to know that this is also where Dominos was founded.
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.
