I have learned some interesting things living here in Lima.
Did you know…..
-If women sleep with cats it will keep them from getting pregnant. During the night, you swallow the cat’s hair, and the hair contains microorganisms that will keep you from getting pregnant. (Now I know why Ryan let me get our cat!!!)
-You should never hold a baby under 6 months old upright. Its’ bones are developing, and if you hold it upright, its’ face will droop.
-Drinking cold drinks (water, coca-cola, etc.) can give you a cold. You should never drink cold drinks during winter. Peruvians rarely ever drink cold drinks or use ice. If you do drink something cold, you should drink it slow. This will help keep it from making you sick.
-It is healthier to eat more solid foods during your meal, and then work to the less solid food. It is healthier for you to wait and drink your drink at the end of your meal, not during it.
Who knew!!!!
