I've been munching on some avocados lately...it's been a good jam-like replacement on my sliced bread as against butter and mayonnaise...
Who doesn't know that margarine/butter contains fat? And Mayonnaise cholesterol?...If you love bread and butter but very weight conscious like I am, avocado pear should be your perfect replacement.
Have you also tried slicing avocado on your hot plate of jollof rice?..If you haven't ate that combination, then you are seriously missing out.
I've always loved pears .I cherish the local one (ibo name -Ube igbo) used for eating roasted corn.. Even though I hear that excessive consumption of it can cause malaria..hahahhaha. Who doesn't know it's the plasmodium in the female anopheles mosquito that is the malaria distributor?..Lmao
Avocado pear is a seasonal fruit,shebi una know?...It's in season now. Please look for it and start munching because It's benefits are astonishing especially in prevention / curing of athritis.
I bought some avocado pears from my customer last night and I told her it cures athritis and she shouted in shock.. Can you imagine an Avocado pear seller whose mum is suffering from athritis taking her from one hospital to another without knowing that the solution is with her?...Truly,ignorance is very bad.
There is some evidence that avocados are a weight loss friendly food.
In one study, people were split into groups. One group was instructed to eat a meal that contained avocado, the other a similar meal without avocado.
Then they were asked a series of questions related to hunger and satiety.
The people eating the avocado felt 23% more satisfied and had a 28% lower desire to eat over the next 5 hours.
If this holds true in the long-term, then including avocados in your diet could help you naturally eat fewer calories and have an easier time sticking to a healthy diet.
Avocados are also high in fiber, and very low in carbs, two attributes that should also help promote weight loss, at least in the context of a healthy, real food based diet.
Avocado is Delicious and Easy to Incorporate in The Diet
Not only are avocados healthy, they’re also incredibly delicious and go with all sorts of foods.
You can add them to salads and various sorts of recipes, or you can simply scoop them out with a spoon and eat them plain.
They have a creamy, rich, fatty texture and blend well with various other ingredients.
A notable mention is guacamole, which is arguably the most famous use of avocados. It includes avocado along with ingredients like salt, garlic, lime and a few others depending on the recipe.
An avocado often takes some time to ripen and it should feel slightly soft when ripe. The nutrients in avocado can oxidize soon after fleshing it, but if you add lemon juice then that shouldn’t happen as quickly.
At the end of the day, avocados are an awesome food. They’re loaded with nutrients, many of which are lacking in the modern diet.
They are weight loss friendly, heart healthy and… last but not least, taste incredible.
What more could you ask for in a food?
Please share this to your friends, you might just be helping someone.
Have a healthy wednesday.
