Avocado the new super food:
High in Vitamins, potassium, fibre and Omega 3 this tasty fruit has so much to offer us.
Avocado 's originate from Central and South America and grow on tall trees .They have fantastic health benefits for inside and outside the body. The best source of nutrients is the dark green flesh found just under the skin. So you should peel like a banana with your fingers to get the best out of this fruit
The latest research shows us that Carotenoid Antioxidants absorption increases significantly
when avocado is added to a salad. Carotenoids, the colourful plant pigments some of which the body
can turn into vitamin A, are powerful antioxidants that can prevent some forms of Cancer, Heart
Disease and enhance your immune response to infections.
Health Benefits includes:
- Anti inflammatory
- Anti Cancer Benefits
- Promotes Low Blood Pressure

Avocado oil is also used extensively as an ingredient for hair and beauty products as its
health properties work just as well on the outside. Natural beauty masks, moisturisers,
hand creams benefit from the Antioxidants and vitamins found in the oil promote anti ageing.
The Omega 3 is a natural defence for UV rays. The oil is known to be soothing for eczema. The
oil is a favourite ingredient for hair products as it nourishes and moisturises hair.
The oil can be used as a base oil for massage and its sweet nutty smell is used to scent products
and perfumes.
Who would of thought this regular little fruit from the supermarket shelf could do so much.
