Unlock Your Brain Power with this Amazing Fruit, Lovingly Known as
Alligator Pear
When I say beta-carotene, what comes to mind? Huh, you say. Carrots,
right? Sure, just roll with me. So, when I say lycopene, you say…yes, tomatoes.
Lycopene and beta-carotene are two extremely important anti-oxidants most
closely associated with orange or reddish fruits and vegetables. Well, guess
what green, weird shaped fruit, has more of both anti-oxidants with one peel
tied behind its back than a pound of carrots and a bunch of tomatoes put together.
Yep, that’s right…the all mighty Alligator Pear! That’s not all. We’re just
getting started on the amazingness of the avocado.
I think most of us know that avocados are high in fat. However,
are they actually fattening? The answer…yes and no. here are three big words—beta-sitosterol,
campesterol, and stigmasterol. Mean anything to you…me either. After some reading,
I learned that those three things are mainly responsible for our inflammatory
systems. What does that mean concerning avocados? Hold onto your socks. Avocados
contain high amounts of all three, and works as an anti-inflammatory,
especially for people with arthritis. Ta-da! All right, hold it down; we’re
still not done yet.
Oleic acid…what is it? Well, it’s a monounsaturated fatty
acid that helps turn bad fat into good fat, a lot like olives. Didn't I tell
you these things were amazing? Alligator Pears, eaten responsibly, are actually
good for your heart’s health. Of course, you have to eat a well-balanced diet
along with those wonderful fruits, which I am no longer going to feel guilty
for eating. But wait…there’s more!
As writers, we have to keep the creative juices flowing. We have
to concentrate—put words together to form thoughts that make sense. As freelancers,
we are expected to write about various subjects at the drop of a dime. On top
of everything else, avocados are BRAIN FOOD. These green wonders of nature
contain vitamin E and K, potassium and magnesium, and can help keep our blood
sugar down—all that adds up to a healthy brain. When we have the right amounts
of all the combined nutrients avocados provide, our brains function better! Studies
show that people who eat avocados at least three times a week have higher brain
function than those that do not. Oh, yeah!
So now what do you think about adding avocado to your salad
or burger? I say, bring it on!
