I am disappointed that no mention has been recorded as far as his favourite diet so that we could get some advice regarding dietetic habits about the accepted longevity foods. The Adventist Health Study 2, following 96,000 Americans since 2002, found that the people who lived the longest were not vegans or meateaters. They were “pesco-vegetarians,” or pescatarians, who ate a plantbased diet, including ...

Transformation of Galle Face green  by Dr Harold Gunatillake The promenade was initially laid out in 1859 by Governor Sir Henry George Ward,  although the original Galle Face Green extended over a much larger area than is seen today.  The Galle Face Green was initially used for horse racing and as a golf course but was also  used for cricket, polo, football, tennis, and rugby.   The Dutch initially laid out the Galle Face Green to enable their cannons to a strategic line of  fire against the Portuguese.
