AVOCADO

Avocados are as creamy as butter, but healthier for you. They may be high in fat – 22 g and 240 calories in a cup of cubed avocado – but it’s the healthy mono-unsaturated kind. Avocados can still fit into a cancer-fighting diet if you’re careful. Like nuts (also healthful and high in fat), the trick is to eat a moderate amount.

Eat healthy food?

Eat healthy food?

Eating is one the most important events in everyone’s life. We enjoy eating – it’s part of who we are and part of our culture; in fact, eating is the hottest universal topic of all times. We depend on eating: the foods we eat are the sole source of our energy and nutrition. We know so much about eating: we are born with the desire to eat and grown up with rich traditions of eating. But we also know so little about eating – about how the foods we eat everyday affect our health. We are more confused than ever about the link between diet and health: margarine is healthier than butter or not; a little alcohol will keep heart attacks at bay but cause breast cancer; dietary vitamin antioxidants can prevent lung cancer or can not. Eating is a paradox and a mystery that our ancestors tried and modern scientists are trying to solve.

Based on experiences and traditions, our ancestors have used foods and plant materials to treat various kinds of illness. Manuscripts discovered from a tomb (dated 168 B.C.) in China described prescriptions for 52 ailments with herbs, grains, legumes, vegetables, animal parts, and minerals. Ancient Sumerians recorded the use of 250 medicinal plants on tablets five thousand years ago. Today, plant and food remedies are still the major medicinal source for 80% of the world’s population.
