Avocado Health Benefits

Avocados Are Nutrient Rich
Avocados are an incredibly rich source of nutrients and offer nearly 20 vitamins and minerals in every serving. Of your Recommended Daily Values (RDV), one avocado typically contains:


·         53% Vitamin K
·         41% Folate
·         33% Vitamin C
·         28% Pantothenic Acid
·         28% Potassium
·         26% Vitamin B6
·         21% Vitamin E
·         19% Copper
 Source of Healthy Fats
Although the fat content of avocados is high, they contain ‘good fats’ including monounsaturated fat.
This type of fat can reduce the risk of stroke or heart attack along with the levels of bad cholesterol in the blood.
Manage Your Weight
Surprisingly, eating avocados may actually help you lose weight!
Prevent Diabetes
Avocados are helpful in regulating blood sugar levels.
Fights Inflammation
Avocado might just help fight inflammation, thanks to its oleic acid content – the monounsaturated fat in olive oil that’s responsible for much of its healthful properties.
Eye Health
If you’ve read the article you’ll know just how important the nutrients lutein and zeaxanthin are in fighting macular degeneration, one of the leading causes of blindness in the US.
The only way to get lutein and zeaxanthin into our bodies is through diet, which is why we need to eat more foods rich in these phytonutrients.
avocados are a good source of lutein. They’re also a good source of zeaxanthin
Healthy Skin and Hair
With healthy fats and inflammation fighting properties, avocado can give you smooth skin and glossy hair.
One fruit also contains over 20% of your daily dose of Vitamin E which protects body tissue from damage by free radicals, thought to play a role in aging.
Instead of buying expensive Vitamin E enriched skincare creams, eat avocados or try avocado oil and fight aging from within!
Lower Cholesterol Levels
. Avocados can reduce total cholesterol levels significantly, lower blood triglycerides, and lower LDL cholesterol (the bad) while increasing HDL cholesterol (the good).
Improve Nutrient Absorption
Some nutrients are fat soluble, meaning they need to be combined with fat in order for our bodies to assimilate them. Examples of fat-soluble nutrients include Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin E and Vitamin K, along with certain antioxidants.
Role in Cancer Fighting
avocado are beneficial in fighting cancer.
California-grown avocados contain 11 carotenoids. According to USDA's Agricultural Research Service, avocados contain a complex package of phytonutrients, including carotenoids that may provide numerous health benefits.
Carotenoids appear to protect humans against certain cancers, heart disease and age-related macular degeneration. The UCLA research showed that in California avocados, the greatest concentration of beneficial carotenoids is in the dark green fruit of the avocado closest to the peel.

Strong Bones
Avocados contain a good helping of bone-healthy nutrients including Vitamin K, copper and folate.
Pain Relief
Avocado extract has been proven to reduce symptoms of arthritis of the bones (osteoarthritis).
Thanks to its anti-inflammatory benefits, it may even relieve other sorts of inflammatory-related aches and pains too.
Improve Digestion
one fruit contains 13 grams, around 54% of your recommended daily fiber intake!
Important for Pregnancy
avocados are one of the most important foods that pregnant women can eat. They’re loaded with folate, potassium, Vitamin C and Vitamin B6.
In particular, folate is really important for expectant mums…it’s essential for the healthy development of the fetus in early pregnancy, while Vitamin B6 helps with the baby’s tissue and brain growth and eases morning sickness.
Control Blood Pressure
potassium is important for controlling blood pressure, thanks to potassium’s ability to reduce the effects of sodium in the body.
Avocados are a great natural source of potassium – with one fruit containing 28% of your recommended daily potassium intake.
An Energy Boost
Healthy fats provide a slow, steady stream of energy so you can power right through the workday. In addition, when they’re eaten along with a carbohydrate, they slow the digestion of the carbs, meaning you won’t suffer the energy-zapping sugar crash that typically follows simple carbs like white bread.
Better Immunity
Avocados are a great source of the B vitamins, which help you fight off illness and infection. They also give you plenty of Vitamin C and E – both natural immune boosters.
Enhance Your Mood
An avocado a day might cheer you up thanks to its vitamin and mineral content – especially potassium and folate.
. A review of several scientific studies on the relationship between sodium, magnesium and potassium in depressed patients, found that depressed men and women all had low levels of potassium.
Brain Food
Copper is a brain stimulant, which is why avocados can be classed as a brain food. After all, they do contain almost 20% of your daily copper needs.

Mango Health Benefits

First lets Start with the Mango Concerns Latex allergy People who suffer from latex allergy have the highest susceptibility of a cross-reaction to mangoes. Also, a high intake of potassium can be pretty harmful to those that do not possess fully functional kidneys. In the case that kidneys are unable to oversee the removal of excess potassium from the body, it can be fatal. The overall eating pattern is vital in warding off diseases as well as upholding impeccable health. Try to alternate your diet rather than just concentrating on the consumption of individual foods as key to impeccable health. Urishiol The mangoes’ sap and peels contain a chemical, urushiol, also present in poison sumac and poison ivy. Urushiol may cause an allergic reaction in individuals with the highest susceptibility. Hastening of mangoes’ ripening process Some of the mango growers, or dealers, hasten the ripening of mangoes through the use of calcium carbide, and this can cause serious health c...

Cucumber Health Benefits

Cucumbers Health Benefits ·           Prevention of cancer Cucumbers have two phytonutrient compounds that associate anti-cancer aspects (cucurbitacins and lignans). pharmaceutical companies have invested loads in researching on cucurbitacins in an attempt to make use of them in new cancer medicine. at 2010, the Scientific World Journal published that  cucurbitacins help to block signaling pathways ; that is essential for the survival and proliferation of cancer cells. at 2009, a study was published in the Journal of Cancer Research, showed that when cucurbitacin B subjects to human pancreatic cancer cells, it inhibits the growth of the pancreatic cancer cells by over 50% as well as increased the apoptosis of the pancreatic cancer cells. According to World’s Healthiest Foods, lignans work with bacteria in the digestive tract to work against cancer. The bacteria are responsible for the conversion of the lignans into...

Methionine - short period restricted diet to Cure Cancer

Methionine is an essential amino acid and important in  angiogenesis , the growth of new blood vessels Overconsumption of methionine , [4]  the methyl group donor in DNA methylation, is related to cancer growth in a number of studies. [5] [6] [7] Methionine was first isolated in 1921 by John Howard Mueller. [8] High methionine foods include nuts, beef, lamb, cheese, turkey, pork, fish, shellfish, soy, eggs, dairy, and beans.  Methionine restricted diet and high dose selenium: Methionine restriction sensitizes cancer cells to sodium selenite by lowering glutathione which increases oxidative stress. Cancer cells are highly dependent on several different amino acids for growth and cell division. Cancer cells are universally dependent on methionine It is both practical and effective to limit the dietary intake of methionine as a means to starve cancer cells of this essential nutrient. Normal cells are unharmed by short term limitation of methionine ...
