Avocado for Skin, Varicose Veins, Damaged Hair, and more...

Since ancient times, avocados have been recognized as one of the most healing and nutritive fruits around.  The Aztecs enjoyed smooth and young skin with noticeable agile bodies, because they consumed more than two whole avocados a day.  They may not have known that avocados provided so many benefits to the body, but avocado was undoubtedly consumed in very large quantities during those times.  Some legends mention it as a fruit that was consumed daily, and how they helped the arms, legs, and joints move with flexibility and agility.

Essential Fatty Acids in Avocado

Avocado contains linoleic and linolenic acids, which help keep veins and arteries throughout the entire body healthy and well lubricated.  These  oils also lubricate cells and tissues in general throughout the body, they repair tissues and give the skin a healthy, youthful look.  Avocado oils can help cure skin conditions like dermatitis, acne, psoriasis, dryness, etc., and well and shriveled or wrinkly skin.  Hair also benefits from avocado’s lubricants and vitamins.  These fatty acids also help reduce harmful cholesterol that accumulates in the body, providing liveliness and energy to the body.

One of avocado’s great benefits are its unsaturated fats, its lack of starches and sugar (which is practically zero), especially in ripe avocados.  These enzymes work uninterruptedly, and are not blocked by starches or sugars.

Vitamins and Minerals in Avocado

Avocados contain 11 vitamins and 14 minerals, including Vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant.

How to use avocados

Eat avocados in all your meals, but do not combine them with other fruits or sugary foods, to make sure you absorb it the best way possible.  One great way of eating avocados is to eat is in fresh vegetable salads, especially with sprouts.  This is a super potent combination for curing and rejuvenating the body.  You could make a salad with avocado and nuts, or you could even make an original Avocado Bread.
