The new hike to real estate industry via Sri Lanka The upcoming years promises to hold exciting future for real estate investment. With more and more developments popping up in the world’s key emerging markets, the eyes are onto countries such as Mexico, Philippines and Sri Lanka. These countries not only offer a more appealing climate zone but also the potential of better returns for real estate investors and plot prices are generally lower, as well as material and labour costs. Investing in real estate carries with it a certain amount of risk but has the potential to be very rewarding if investments are chosen wisely. Since the end of the civil war the country’s economy has been blooming. The development of tourism industry has created new demand for hotels and apartments with substantial investment in transport links. Following this increase in demand to buy, build and rent, the country is attracting the attention of many foreign real estate investors, who see the potential for a lucrative investment. Hence, Sri Lanka being a neighbouring country to Maldives, Maldives could benefit from Sri Lanka’s development and real estate opportunities. A key starting point is to identify the aim of your investment. Are you looking for something that will provide short-term returns or are you in it for the long haul? Are you looking to buy to live, to re-sell quickly, to re-sell in the future or to rent out immediately? Identifying the desired purpose of your investment, will be a key ingredient for success in staying on top of the latest developments and trends within the real estate market. The opportunities from Sri Lanka has been increasing in the real estate industry where Maldivian companies have a window of opportunity to look ahead on. The developments and opportunities will undoubtedly benefit both the countries. "This reflects a healthy outlook for the construction and the real estate sectors. Going forward, the businesses will open up vibrant opportunities with promising returns".

This investigation opens new avenues towards understanding culinary practices.' There are flavours that 'define' a cuisine. It also turns the whole idea of 'food pairing' cuisine on its head.

Wish to lose weight and look slim? Thinking of ways to slack off that extra fat hanging stubbornly? And if you are in the dilemma of deciding whether you should exercise more or diet vigorously to loosen that extra kilos, worry not, just believe in yourself and put your trust in both exercise and diet. Because to stay slim it’s not a question of exercise versus diet, as experts say both are equally vital. Nutrition experts say that a combination of diet and exercise is best at any stage of weight loss. Look at it this way; we lose weight when we eat less calories than we disburse and we gain weight when we eat more calories than we disburse. In order to lose one pound of fat, we must deficit 3500 calories, this can be achieved either through exercise or diet.
Yes, it would be easier to create a calorie deficit through diet alone, but if you combine that needed sweat sash and a healthy diet, you will get to enjoy the process of losing weight without having to make dramatic changes. For example, instead of reducing 500 calories by vigorously eliminating all diary from your diet, you could burn 250 calories at the gym and then reduce another 250 calories just by skipping a bowl of your favorite ice cream. Research shows that to lose weight via exercise you don’t have to run marathons, all you need to do is to build up five to seven workouts a week, go for a walk or enjoy a Zumba class.
As the saying goes, “what you eat matters more than how you work it off” but it’s always wise to set your mind on a combination of both diet and exercise to achieve long term healthy goals. A healthy diet is always unbeatable and when it is combined with a much needed work-out, you will accomplish what you need without going through a harsh diet plan. Lastly keep in mind that staying physically fit is linked to all kinds of other health benefits such as a healthy heart to better mental health and an improved immune system.
