HAPPINESS IS…

….. A fresh seasonal avocado!!!

😀 from that statement alone I’m sure a couple of things just happened. Some of you agree with me a 100%, some of you rolled your eyes, some of you are indifferent and some, like my friend, I wont mention her by name, just gagged at the mere thought of having a fruit. (Yes people, its a FRUIT). Its some magical nature-butter and in my opinion the darling of the produce isle.

Listen, food is medicine and the right relationship with food will make a positive impact on your health, your body, your mind and life. I am a firm believer in ditching diets and eating healthy. Healthy eating will do more for you than a diet can ever do. I know Avocado gets a bad rep but don’t stop reading yet, give me a chance to change your mind. Remember changing your mind could change your life for the better.

DEAR GYM JUNKIE 

• Avocados have more potassium than bananas which means by consuming them you could easily avoid muscle cramps
• They help maintain optimal muscle and nerve function

ADDICTED TO BEAUTY 

• CONTROLS ACNE. Regular intake of avocados effectively controls acne or breakouts in the skin. It therefore keeps the skin supple and glowing.
• HEALTHY SKIN TONE. High in B vitamins which help your body’s metabolism and its maintenance of a healthy skin tone,
• You can use Avocado in facial masks, hair care, and so much more. (for hair and skin HOW TO’s just comment down below and i will prepare something for you)

JUST HEALTH CONSCIOUS 

• Avocado is good for bone strength and durability
• Avocado helps with CONSTIPATION… (high in insoluble fiber which is great at cleaning out your bowels by way of increasingly efficient bowel movements. Which means you will  stand a lesser chance of getting constipated)
• MEAT REPLACEMENT. Avocados provide all 18 essential amino acids necessary for the body to form a complete protein so if you are trying to cut down on animal sources of protein in your diet, or if you are a vegetarian, vegan or raw foodist seeking more protein, avocados are a great replacement.
• EYE HEALTH High quality Vitamin A which is good for eye health

TO THE STUDENT 

• Avocado helps with STRESS and ANXIETY so constant intake can help you manage your stress levels before an exam or big test
