I remember riding my bike to meet my friend at the local sandwich shop on the beach. We always got a vegetarian sandwich which consisted of whole grain bread, mayonnaise, bean sprouts, carrots and avocado. Back then, I had no idea how good avocado was for you. I was just trying to be a trendy vegetarian. As it turns out, Avocados are loaded with anti oxidants and anti aging ingredients that are so good for you. They can be used as part of a healthy diet plan as well as an anti-aging treatment. Avocados are loaded with a monounsaturated oleic acid which is also found concentrated in olive oil. This acts as an antioxidant to block the artery toxins of the bad cholesterol, LDL. It is one of the richest sources of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant that has been shown to block about thirty different carcinogens. A great reason to make them part of your healthy diet plan. Avocados are also loaded with B-complex vitamins that nourish your skin inside and out. Vitamin B3 (niacin) is especially important for healthy, glowing skin and avocados are loaded with it thus helping to sooth irritated, blotchy skin. Avocados contain both vitamin E and vitamin C, which act well together as an anti-aging treatment. Making avocados a part of your healthy diet plan is essential and it’s so easy to incorporate avocados into your diet. We often find it in a guacamole dip at parties or when dining out at Mexican restaurants. You can also merely throw some into a blender with your berries and yogurt for breakfast or a great afternoon snack. I have seen slices floating on top of tortilla soups and on salads. I personally still like to make those vegetarian sandwiches from time to time using a vegetarian mayonnaise as opposed to a high fat mayonnaise. Note: healthiest part of the avocado is the dark green flesh directly underneath the skin. The best way to get to this is to use the nick and peel method. As far as using the avocado as an external anti-aging treatment, merely mix ¼ of an avocado with 1 tbsp of warm water and just enough honey to make it sticky. Rub it all over the area you are treating. Let it rest for about ten minutes then gently wash it off. Using an avocado as part of your healthy diet plan and as an anti-aging treatment is not only smart, but it is easy, cheap, and nutritious.
