A Perfect Food?
There are not many foods that can be included in practically any diet and for practically any type of individual.
When I was researching foods to help treat inflammations in the body, avocados came up at the top of the list.
It struck me what a wonderful gift avocados are and when they say, “Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food,” they must have had avocados in mind.
Not only are avocados a wonderful food to include in our diets but there are many external uses also.
Avocados are a fruit, more specifically a berry.
They have more potassium than bananas (twice as much).
They are one of the few high protein fruits containing 18 of the most important amino acids all of which are available to the body to use.
Avocados are high in fiber, vitamin E, the B vitamins, and folic acid.
Avocados are low in fructose but rich in monounsaturated fat that is easily burned for energy.
Research is showing, besides its anti-inflammatory properties, avocados may help to protect us from liver damage and may actually improve its overall health.
Avocados contain compounds that appear to destroy oral cancer cells.
Because of its beneficial raw fat content, advocados enable our bodies to more easily absorb fat-soluble nutrients.
When you use avocados as a mask the antioxidants, amino acids, and essential oils help to repair damaged hair, treat dry skin by replenishing moisture to the cells, soothe sun burns, and perhaps even reduce winkles.
Because of the high levels of vitamin E and moisturizing plant sterols and lecithin, avocados are helpful to heal skin problems such as acne.
A mixture of Avocado Oil and Castor Oil* has a similar effect, as does Oil Pulling to clear our blocked pores, reduce sebaceous gland inflammation, and generally improve skin tone.
Or you can just simply smash an advocado and spread it on your face for about 1/2hr as a mask.
As an extra bonus, avocados are one of the top Alkaline foods for anyone needing to balance the body’s ph.
Avocados are the perfect food to be our medicine and the perfect medicine to be our food!
