My sweet lime day.🍋

A home garden without a lime tree and a cuisine without at least a one lime fruit can't be found in Sri Lanka. Three **sweet lime** trees which is another variety of lime can be seen in my home garden too. They don't need that much caring or watering. Actually we don't water them at all. But we have to make sure whether they get enough sunlight otherwise they don't grow well or don't bear fruits. Only one tree from my three trees bears fruits and the speciality is all those fruits can be seen on that one broken branch.

The broken branch.

I start my day with drinking a water glass with few drops of lime and honey as I have heard that drinking it helps to metabolism, digestion and burning fat. Actually I was energized by drinking it.

There are three drinks I like to drink in hot sunny days. Those are cold water, king coconut water and cold lime juice. Yesterday was also so hot that I immediatey made a lime juice by adding lime, sugar, salt, pepper and two ice cubes into a glass of water.

Did you know lime juice is good for diabetes, blood pleasure, cold, skin, constipation, joint pains, certain stomachaches, dandruff and breast cancers as it contains nutrients like vitamin A, C, E, B6 and Citric acid? Even the lime peel which we throw awaya has that ability cure cancers.

We are instructed to steam daily as it is good for stay healthy in current COVID19 situation. Yesterday I added a few lime leaves to the boiling water too since it is healthier when someone has cold and skin problems.

We already put lime drops into foods and drinks but if you leave a lime fruit in the deep freezer for some time, you can crush it untill it becomes powder and that powder can be added to the vegetable salads and curries which is a very helpful way to fight against cancer cells.

So, having a lime tree in your home garden means you have a mini medicinal store in your house.
