Guest guest Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Avocados Why They're Healthy: -- Rich in healthy, satisfying fats proven in one study to lower cholesterol by about 22 percent. -- One has more than half the fiber and 40 percent of the folate you need daily, which may reduce your risk of heart disease. Quick Tip: Adding it to your salad can increase the absorption of key nutrients like beta-carotene by three to five times compared with salads without this superfood.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I have a bazillion baby avocadoes on my tree! Woohoo! Sharyn From: health [mailto:health ] On Behalf Of Suzanne Avocados Health Benefits: The fact that avocados contain a good dose of heart-healthy mono- and polyunsaturated fats makes them unique among fruits. Avocados also contain oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat that may help lower cholesterol. Avocados are a good source of potassium. An adequate intake of potassium can help ward off high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. This fruit also is a good way to incorporate lutein, which helps eyesight and protects against breast cancer, in your diet. Preparation: Slice avocados just before using them so they won't discolor. If you need to cut them a bit a head of time, sprinkle the cut surfaces with lemon or lime juice. To slice them, first cut lengthwise around the seed. Twist the two halves apart in different directions, scoop out the pit with a spoon, and separate the flesh from the skin. Try 2 tablespoons mashed avocado or two to three thin slices instead of cream cheese or peanut butter on your favorite sandwich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
