Avocados: The World’s Most Perfect Food
Don’t you just LOVE avocados? Yeah, me too. But did you realize just how good these orbs of creamy, green deliciousness are for your health? Studies show that in addition to providing the healthy monounsaturated fats that help you get and stay leaner, they can reduce the risk of heart attacks and diabetes, promote youthful skin while reducing wrinkles, and they may help to ward off cancer.
Beyond guacamole, they can be used in some wonderful ways to enhance your healthy meals with all of that good fat. Try them as a spread on sandwiches instead of high fat mayo or other dressings or add slices to a salad. If you’re feeling a little more adventurous, visit the California Avocado Growers website for an amazing assortment of recipes.
Here’s to your health,
