Why avocados should be part of your raw-food, eating-regimen every day.

To all my Friends on CureZone:

I eat at least one-half of a green avocado
every day when they're in season. I've been
doing that for about 6 years. If you rarely
eat an avocado, let me give you some reasons
you should consider eating an avocado as often
as possible. I'll begin with some thoughts
from Andreas Moritz . from his superb book,
Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation.

Andreas says that he's been eating one-half of
an avocado in his mid-day salad for more than
20 years. It's one of the reasons Andreas is in perfect health. "An avocado is a very dense
fruit, packed with nutrients. It's especially rich in vitamin A, but also contains plenty
of B vitamins, 9 essential animo acids, and
a mountain of potassium."

Andreas adds that avocados have been shown to
benefit circulation, dilate blood vessels,
and lower cholesterol. Yes, they're high in fat, but it's primarily monosaturated oleic
acid (also found in olive oil), and it is this
oil which has a brilliant track record at lowering LDL cholesterol.

Avocados also have three times more glutathione than any other fruit. Glutathione
is a powerful antioxidant that blocks 30
different kinds of carcinogens (cancer-causing
agents).

David Wolfe, one of the gurus of raw food diets, has been eating 2 -5 avocados each
day for many years. In his book, The Sunfood
Diet Success System. David says that most of
his friends do likewise.

David says that "Avocados are THE best transition food from a cooked-food diet to
a raw-food diet. The gentle flavor, high-fat
content, smooth texture, and natural oils
within them, make avocados an ideal beauty food and baby food."

Paul Pitchford has this to say in his insightful book, Healing With Whole Foods:
"Avocados build the blood, harmonize the liver, and lubricate the lungs and intestines.
They are a natural source of lecithin, a brain
food. More than 80 percent of its caloric content is easily digested fat. Avacados are
also rich in copper, which aids in red blood
cell formation. They're often recommended for
nursing mothers." Paul adds that avocados
are good for treating ulcers, and are widely
known to beautify the skin.

I like the big green avocados, which have
just become available again in the last month.
I bring them home, and set them on a plate
in a sunny window to ripen. That can take 3 or
4 days. When they soften, I put them into the
fridg. I've found that avocados are very good
at lubricating and healing dried lips. A
good-sized avocado is a meal in itself.

I hope some of this information resonated with
you, and that you'll consider adding these
tasty green fruits to your diet.

Blessings,

Owen
