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.

I just like it. bwahaha CPPS ni ada seorang kawan yang dikenali melalui Tinder  sejak 1-2 tahun lepas , kita namakan dia Mr. Horny Goat Weed (HGW) .Weols cuma chatting on and off sebab dia banyak bekerja off shore dan tidak pernah berjumpa pun. Tapi HGW adalah seorang kawan yang baik kerana selalu ada apabila CPPS memerlukan seseorang to talk to or a shoulder to cry on gitu. Bukanlah tidak pernah plan untuk berjumpa tetapi setiap kali tu ada aral melintang, masing-masing sibuk dengan kehidupan sendiri. Yang tak boleh blah tu, HGW siap pesan dengan CPPS. "We can meet, you know, go out and have coffee but with ONE CONDITION." Uishhh ada condition you. Takut kiteeee. "Jangan cerita pasal I dalam blog you." KAH! Okay tapi tak jadi jumpa punnnn. That was a year ago. Nak dijadikan cerita, baru-baru ni HGW berada di darat dan CPPS pulak tengah emosi masalah dunia. So HGW dengan baik hati offer bawak iols kelu...
