Health important of avocado

Avocado (Persea americana) is a tree of the laurel family, native to Central America. The dark, green, thick skinned, pear-shaped fruit has a buttery textured flesh.
Avocados have a high fat content but luckily it is a ‘good’ fat (monounsaturated) content, the same as you find in nuts. This combination of essential fatty acids and vitamins (listed below) make avocados a good, natural remedy for lowering cholesterol.
Avocados are an ideal fruit for diabetics and people suffering with high blood pressure.
Medicinal preparations can be made from the seeds, leaves and roots of the avocado. Conditions such as intestinal parasites, stomach cramps, gastric disorders, eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis can be treated with preparations made from this vegetable.
Vitamin Content
Vitamin A (retinol), Vitamin C (ascorbic acid), Vitamin E, Vitamin K, Vitamin B1 (thiamine), Vitamin B2 (riboflavin), Vitamin B3 (niacin), Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), Vitamin B9 (Folate- folic acid),Biotin.
Electrolyte Content
Sodium, Potassium
Mineral Content
Calcium, Copper (t), Iron, Magnesium, Manganese (t), Phosphorus, Selenium (t), Zinc (t)
Shopping and Storing Tips
To select a ripe avocado, press your thumb into the top near the stem, if it gives in slightly then it is ready to eat. Avocados should be eaten within 2-3 days of purchasing; they can be stored in a refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Culinary Tips
Avocado is a super ingredient for making guacamole and other dips but I also use it in soups, pasta dishes, ice cream, and milk shakes. Creamy mashed avocado is nutritious for babies and easily digested.

Real love

THE UNCOMMON LOVER... It's not about saying sweet nothings. Play boys know how to use those romantic lines to land you in bed. I guess they learnt that from king Solomon, he was the grand master at seducing and sleeping with women. Solomon could literally strip you naked with words. He was so good at it you won't know when you have fallen head over heels in love with him (Songs of Solomon 2:2). Lest I forget, he was a handsome dude too. He combined the ruggedness of his father, king David and the stunning beauty of his mother, queen Baasheba plus supernatural wisdom and untold wealth, King Solomon was not the kind of man any woman could resist. With his libido exceptionally high, it is understandable he ended up with 300 wives and 700 concubines! The uncommon lover is not after your pant, he is after your heart. If you truly love that lady brother, pre-marital sex wont crawl any where near your brain,you won't think about it at all. You will want to keep her, protect her...

SINGLE MOTHER AND MARRIAGE

Some men say they can never marry a lady who has had a child outside wedlock. They call them "Ajeku" and "After One" yet they are the same men who run after innocent girls, defile them and deny responsibility for the pregnancy. Some men have no shame! If you don't want a single mother, stick to your decision but what makes a woman a great wife is not whether she has had a child or not. Countless ladies have had abortions yet no child before wedding. They look so clean yet rotten inside. Women who chose to have the babies should be respected and honoured not for the mistakes they made but the courage they showed. They feared God and valued another life than commit murder and save their faces from shame. They are God fearing and compassionate. Two major qualities needed in a wife. I pity men who allow senseless ego make them miss God's perfect will for their lives. God doesn't use someone's past to pick a spouse for them, he looks at your future an...

NEGATIVE SIDE EFFECTS OF SOCIAL MEDIA

There are a number of ways that social media can have an influence on your health. Addiction to social media. People who are addicted to social media may experience negative side effects such as eye strain, social withdrawal or lack of sleep. Stress. If you spend your time researching problems or arguing with people, you may experience stress, which can have a negative impact on your health. Emotional connections. Social media can help you connect with more people and stay in touch with those with whom you’re already close. Connecting with people has proven health benefits. Information. You can find a large amount of health-related information on social media. This can be quite helpful. On the other hand, if you take random advice without doing proper research, it can also be harmful. As these points illustrate, there’s no simple answer to whether social media is good or bad for you. Because it’s such a pervasive influence on modern life...
