Avocado Healing Properties

Decrease cholesterol
Avocados, like olive oil and almonds, contain a kind of fat that has been shown to lower bad blood cholesterol.  Israeli scientists found that cholesterol levels dipped by as much as 14 percent in a group of men on a diet that included olive oil, avocados and almonds.

Patients at the VA Hospital in Coral Gables, Florida, were given 1/2 to 1 1/4 avocados per day.  Blood samples were taken twice a week and half of the patients showed a marked decrease in cholesterol levels.

Ease constipation
If you’re suffering from constipation, don’t despair!  Mash up an avocado and mix with a teaspoon of lemon juice for a terrific toast or cracker spread that should get you up and running in no time. 

Save your sight
Cataracts are a clouding on the eye lens that inhibits sight.  New research suggests that the antioxidant glutathione is important in preventing cataracts.  Glutathione has been found to be lacking in people with cataracts, and that deficiency may contribute to their formation.  The high levels of glutathione in avocados are a good preventative for cataracts.

Keep cancer away
Avocados can prevent cancer.  Dean P. Jones, associate professor of biochemistry at Emory University School of Medicine, reports that glutathione can deactivate at least thirty cancer-causing compounds.

I know that there are a lot of calories in this drink but it is so good. I had it at a resturant an avocado drink. Made with a avocado, codensed milk and whip cream on the top. m-m-m-m-mmmm
