THE AMAZING AVOCADO

The health benefits of avocado include weight management, protection from cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, treating osteoarthritis and enhancing the absorption of nutrients for the body.  It also reduces the risk of cancer, liver damage and Vitamin K deficiency-related bleeding. Avocado helps in keeping eyes healthy and protecting the skin from signs of aging and the harmful effects of UV rays. It also helps in maintaining blood sugar levels and has antioxidant properties. It even helps to increase circulation, boost cognitive abilities, and build stronger bones! 

 

Avocado has a high fatty acid content but contains extremely low levels of cholesterol. Many people tend to stop eating avocado due to its high calorie content, thinking that it may add to their weight.  However, the amount of calories is very small when compared to butter, and other high calorie dietary items. Also, much of the fat content comes from unique sources, like phytosterols, which are beneficial for a number of reasons.

SWEET POTATOE BROWNIES: OPEN YOUR BELLY TO GREATNESS

WHY SWEET POTATOES?

Sweet potatoes contain high doses of most nutrients such as Vitamin A, C, B1, B6, manganese, copper, pantothenic acid, potassium, and niacin.  They are also high in antioxidants, which are compounds in plants that protect your cells from damage.  If you like the taste of Sweet potatoes, then incorporate them in your diet as much as possible.   Sweet potatoes are high in fiber, and when it comes to fiber most diets don't get close to the 20 to 35 grams recommended for health.    Fiber helps you digest your food properly, which can cut your chances of getting constipated or developing hemorrhoids.  In addition, when you eat fiber regularly, you are also less likely to get heart disease and certain types of cancer.
