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.

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.
