Peruvians and their Health

You will never meet a group of people who know so much about the non-nutritional value of each thing they eat. Pineapple for breakfast when you know you're going to eat a big meal later. People offering annis tea just in case. They have a personal favourite remedy for anything that ails you or might ail you. There is a reason for this almost anal attention to personal well-being - few have health insurance and are just a chill away from disaster. You just can't take any risks with your health. It never rains in
Lima but the temperature is in the 50s now and the humidity close to 80% so it is easy to catch a cold if you are not careful.

For the first time in my life I have had people telling me of the benefits to the bacterial flora in my stomach from consuming flax seed water.
