Avocados and Aging...

The green fruit that could has fat. That's right, it contains monounsaturated fat. This is a good thing. The fat is so tiny it can slip through membranes and protect cells from free radical damage. This enhances vitality and mental acuity, and improves skin texture. Bonus: Avocados may also improve bone density thanks to the mineral boron, which helps absorb calcium, and a whole avocado contains 14 grams of fiber, which expedites the removal of toxins that can lead to aging.

Avocados are best served as an unadulterated raw food. (We've never liked cooking avocados.) Make a cooling cucumber and avocado soup with fresh mint or toss some avocado into a mixed green salads, lot's of veggies and some kind of protein - even a can of tuna!
