Healing Food
Contains thinner omega-6 fats compared to nuts, seeds, and animal proteins. Has both sugar and fat combined, making it better for nutrient absorption than other fats Nature's way of putting sugar and fat together the right way - it has sugar in it combined with fat, making it healthier The avocado is the mother fruit. Whether you have a taste for it or not, it’s vital to appreciate avocado as the foundation of the pantry, the conductor of the symphony, the strongest link in the chain, the landmark, the soul of all other foods. It’s wonderful that avocados have gotten attention in recent years for their health benefits. They go far beyond what’s reported, though. You don’t know food until you understand the avocado. Even though the skin of most avocados is inedible, it is loaded with hundreds of undiscovered phytochemical compounds, many of which are infused into an avocado’s flesh as it grows. Some of these phytochemicals are isothiocyanates, which are involved with the color of the yellow-green flesh and help restore stomach and intestinal linings. When you are suffering from digestive disorders of any kind, avocados can come to the rescue. Easy to digest, their creamy flesh is the ultimate gut soother for those with food sensitivities, Crohn’s disease, colitis, or IBS. Avocados possess anti-inflammatory compounds that have an aspirin-like quality without thinning the blood; this reduces narrowing and swelling of the digestive tract. This fruit also has polyp-reducing properties, helping you to prevent or rid yourself of these small growths of the intestinal lining. Avocados are useful for the brain, too. Not all omega-6 fatty acids are equal. The avocado is a healthy source of omega-6 fatty acids. Avocados’ range of nutrients can help restore the central nervous system and alleviate Alzheimer’s and dementia. Eating avocados also has an anti-aging effect on the skin, reducing dryness, giving you a healthy glow, and contributing to the disappearance of dark under-eye circles. They also contain anti- radiation agents that are phytoestrogenic, meaning that they can help stop estrogenrelated reproductive and colon cancers from toxic estrogen- producing chemicals. Avocados’ benefits go far beyond what I have room to include here. Suffice it to say, you want avocados in your life! The fat in avocado is different viscosity - it's thinner and keeps blood thinner. Has nothing to do with omega-3s, 6s, and 9s theory
Buy avocados green and let them ripen at home. If you buy them ripe, they may be bruised from people squeezing them Don't buy soft/squishy ones. Can buy green and let ripen at home. Firmer avocados have less fat, more water and sugar content Don't use overripe/mushy avocados - they can get fermented which causes belly aches and tastes awful For noticeable benefits, eat one avocado a day. For extreme benefits, eat two per day. Those amounts are helpful as substitutions for eggs, dairy, tuna, pork, and the like when transitioning off a high-fat standard diet. If you’re on an advanced lower-fat healing protocol, consider a lesser amount of avocado incorporated into your personal eating protocol. Along the way, from harvest to display, people handle the avocados that you eventually buy in the store, and with each person who handles it, an avocado takes on some of their energy. Before you cut into an avocado that you’ve purchased, hold it in your hands for 30 seconds. This will identify the avocado as yours and connect its cells with your individual energy, being, soul, and DNA, making it the most nutritious it can be for your personal needs. When we think of travel foods, we often think of packaged snacks: trail mix, energy bars, potato chips, crackers. Yet the avocado is an amazing travel food. Try packing a few on your next trip as a fresh alternative to the norm of stale, greasy, or dehydrating road food. When you get hungry, just slice and twist open an avocado, then spoon out the flesh. Putting pits back in guacamole bowl doesn't keep it fresh - only works if pit wasn't removed from that specific half Remove the 'butts' (hard stem end) so they don't fall into your dish and break someone's tooth To remove pit safely: put avocado half on cutting board, stick knife in pit, give it a click to remove. Never pull pit off with your hand on the knife
