Stop everything. Put on your sneakers and grab the car keys. We’re going to the supermarket to buy the worlds most perfect food—the avocado.
The avocado has the skills to pay the bills.
It can ward off cancer (it has plenty of phytochemicals), studies have shown, and it reduces in a person the risk of heart attack and diabetes.
Your dermatologist approves. Avocados, containing carotenoids, can slow the aging process and may even protect your skin from a severe sun.
Oh, and that’s not all. This little ingredient has anti-inflammatory benefits. Chronic inflammation is linked to an exhausting litany of health hazards, such as strokes and heart attacks.
It’s a talented ingredient, the Avocado. And it compliments almost any dish.
If you slice up your avocado length-wise, you can slip a few slices into a burger for a richer flavor. If it’s sushi night, you can wrap up your avocados with salmon or shrimp rolls. If you’re feeling simple, make an avocado salad.
Oh, and here’s a tip: If you don’t plan on using the entire avocado at once, leave the seed. It helps your avocado retain its freshness (so it won’t turn all mushy and brownish).
A recent study shows that the regular consumption of avocados will help sustain a slim waist.
You’ve heard enough. Go out and buy some already.
