I was in Sri Lanka a week back, and while discovering this new country, I noticed that all what people eat there comes up from natural sources!
All fruits are freshly eating after cultivation! These are mainly the tropical fruits!
Mangoes, pineapples, bananas, and of course coconuts!
The last fruit is everywhere! They even make their alcohol from it! It’s called the coconut arak! (so strong though!) 🙂
Coconut is a tropical fruit rich in protein and its water is good for kidney and urinary bladder problems!
It kills bacteria that cause ulcers, throat infections and urinary tract infections. It also Improves calcium and magnesium absorption so it improves the development of strong bones and teeth.
Besides these healthy fruits, this country is also known in making their own cinnamon sticks, toothpicks and cinnamon powder! They do that directly from their own cinnamon tree!
Although there are four main varieties of cinnamon, but Ceylon cinnamon and Cassia cinnamon are the most popular there!
They believe that these specific cinnamon are used for colds, flatulence, nausea, diarrhea, and painful menstrual periods. They improve energy and blood circulation.
They also gave me the cinnamon oil, and told me to put some on my nose and my throat whenever I have a cold! Interestingggg!!! 😉
Before I travel there, My friends told me to get a lot of teas, as Sri Lanka is known by that! Actually tea is the most famous hot drink there! Green, red or white tea! All are organic!
Tea contains polyphenol compounds, particularly catechins,which are antioxidants with high biological activities that prevent cancer, gastritis (stomach inflammation), diabetes, high blood pressure and high blood cholesterol level!
Seafood are also fresh!! All what I was having for dinner was mainly octopus, crabs, shrimps and fish! All grilled with very little spicy sauce!
I am not a fan of curry and hot spicy food so I didn’t try their rice or other curry dishes 🙂
Besides all their fresh and organic foods, distilled water there is also very low in sodium!!
I felt super healthy and light for the whole trip!! 😀
