The Amazing Avocado


When people ordered avocado juice and said how delicious it was, i cringed! Because i couldn't imagine how something green and creamy can be delicious. I imagine it to be bland, yucky and hard to swallow. And then I heard it is higher in calorie and fats compared to other fruits. 

 That is enough to keep me away from avocado...

 Then the other day, someone ordered avocado juice and offered me some. Konon terbuka la pintu hati saya mau try avocado juice. I took a sip and wow! rupa-rupanya memang betul sedap la. It was refreshing, not heavy and creamy like i imagine at all. 

 Punya la sakai saya ni, selepas bertahun2 hidup di dunia baru hari tu pertama kali rasa kesedapan avocado. 

 I have heard that avocado is full of goodness but I let the calorie part cloud my judgement. 

 Not anymore. Let's see what are the health benefits of this amazing fruit

 1. Loaded with monounsaturated fat

  In a typical avocado, most of the calories you receive come from monounsaturated fat. Not all fat is bad for your body and we need fat for our body to function well. One of the good fat is monounsaturated fat. It boost heart health by lowering LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglyceride blood levels while raising HDL (good cholesterol) and helps lower blood pressure.

 2. Has relatively high fiber content

 A typical avocado contain both insoluble and soluble fiber. Insoluble fiber is great at cleaning out your bowels by way of increasingly efficient bowel movements (reduce constipation and chance of colorectal cancer).Soluble fiber is great for appetite control. Because it turns into a gel that sits in your stomach for a while when it comes into contact with water, it has the effect of making you feel full. 

 3. Loaded with vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants
  • Vitamin B (body's metabolism and its maintenance of a healthy skin tone)
  •  vitamins K ( for bone growth and density) 
  •  vitamin E (heathier skin, hair and necessary to avoid conditions like retinopathy)
  • Folate (especially important in pregnant mothers for baby's brain and vital organs' development)
  • anti-oxidant gluthatione (for strong immune system)

All that goodness in just one fruit! Avocado is a nutrient dense food. Meaning that it is loaded with nutrients in comparison to the number of the calorie. If you would like to read more on it's nutrient, I find this PAGE very informative and easy to understand.

Poretan Bermakna Di Senjakala

May the angels be with you Perghhh..tajuk sudah bisa membuatkan cikgu BM saya terangkat bontot, tersenyum lebar sambil berkata pada diri sendiri "I've done a great job!" Sebenarnya mau letak "Life Is Fragile" tapi macam ada kurang impak Whenever tragedies happened and people, especially people I know died, it will always get me thinking how short and fragile life is. How we should appreciate each and everyone we love around us. How we should live and savour every moment because we are not promised tomorrow.  Are you afraid of death? I used to but now I'm not. On some days, I probably look forward to it. Not that I want to die tomorrow or now per say, but if it is time for me to go, I'll accept it with an open heart. Death is just a transition to another world.  Eventually everyone is going to die. Why are you afraid of something that is inevitable? When MH17 was shot down and crashed, killing all its passengers and crew, many people were sa...
