Healthy avocado

 

Many of us know that avocado has remarkable power to support our health, but not everyone knows exactly what its magical power is hidden in and how to use it for our own benefit.

 

Let's analyze out what this overseas guest is!

 

Vegetables, nuts or fruit?

 

This overseas guest came to us from Mexico or Central America. In the language of the Aztecs, the name of the avocado sounds like "Egg", and this is not casual, since the fruits of the avocado have a fairly strong stimulating effect. For a long time, sailors leaned on avocados before disembarking.

Another name for avocado is "alligator pear". The tree itself can be quite gigantic - up to 18 meters in height.

 

Anyone who has eaten an avocado at least once knows that its taste is much closer to vegetables, besides, the chemical composition is like that of a vegetable. For a long time, the avocado was considered a nut, but still it is a fruit (although it is difficult to agree with this).

 

To be honest, I never loved or even ate an avocado as a child, so when I tasted this fruit at a more mature age, there was no delight, which was to be expected, but over time my taste preferences have undergone a revision and today, I am happy to eat avocado.

So that you also want to change your taste preferences, let's consider the benefits of avocado point by point:

1. Avocado is the leading anti-aging food and an integral part of vegetarian cuisine that I respect for its humanity, although I don't eat it often.

2. Avocado promotes weight loss and breaks down excess cholesterol in the blood.

3. The exotic fruit improves memory and reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.

4. In Mexico, avocados are considered an aphrodisiac.

5. Avocados have the ability to lower blood pressure.

6. Avocado is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids; potassium, which helps keep the heart healthy; copper and iron, which are perfectly absorbed in combination, as well as vitamins.

7. It is noteworthy that in 100 grams of avocado there are approximately 245 calories and the fruit does not contain unhealthy fats and sugar, which makes it a dietary product.

8. In cooking, avocados can be used as a substitute for eggs and meat, as well as added to salads.

9. When choosing an avocado, pay attention to the smoothness and cleanliness of its rind, as it is desirable that the fruit be free of cracks and spots.

10. If you bought a slightly unripe avocado, then it will ripen perfectly at room temperature in a couple of days, but it is not advisable to store such a fruit in the refrigerator. When ripe, the fruit should be slightly soft, but not crumbly.

11. Avocado seed and leaves contain substances that are dangerous to humans and animals, which can cause digestive upset or allergic reactions. Therefore, if you find yourself next to an avocado tree, and suddenly you want to chew its leaves, then think again)
