helpful in cases <strong>of</strong> anaemia and good source <strong>of</strong><br />

potassium.<br />

PINEAPPLE: contains a proteolytic enzyme bromelain,<br />

which helps in the digestion <strong>of</strong> protein.<br />

AVOCADO: <strong>of</strong>ten on the hate-list <strong>of</strong> those people<br />

who want to lose weight, but avocado should be<br />

every woman's best friend. They are rich in vitamin<br />

E which is said to be a beauty vitamin because<br />

it is valuable for healthy skin and the prevention<br />

<strong>of</strong> wrinkles. Avocadoes also supply a considerable<br />

amount <strong>of</strong> potassium and large quantities<br />

<strong>of</strong> the extremely healthy monounsaturated<br />

fats. These, especially the oleic acid and the<br />

other nutrients avocado contain, make them one<br />

<strong>of</strong> the most powerful antioxidant foods. Pureed<br />

avocado is good for invalids, sick children and<br />

those people who are recovering from operation<br />

as it is easily digestible and contains some antibacterial<br />

and antifungal chemicals.<br />

All fruit is good for people with who have high<br />

blood pressure because they are low in salt. A<br />

series <strong>of</strong> studies published by the Archives <strong>of</strong><br />

Ophthalmology have proven that consuming 3 or<br />

more servings <strong>of</strong> fruit per day can reduce by 36%<br />

the risk <strong>of</strong> developing an eye-related disease<br />

called ARMD (the primary cause <strong>of</strong> vision impairment<br />

in adults), if compared to people who only<br />

consume 1.5 servings <strong>of</strong> fruit per day.<br />

Four Worms and a<br />

Lesson to be learned<br />

A minister decided that a<br />

visual demonstration would add emphasis to his<br />

Sunday sermon.<br />

Four worms were placed into four separate jars..<br />

The first worm was put into a container <strong>of</strong> alcohol.<br />

The second worm was put into a container<br />

<strong>of</strong> cigarette smoke.<br />

The third worm was put into a container <strong>of</strong><br />

chocolate syrup.<br />

The fourth worm was put into a container <strong>of</strong> good<br />

clean soil.<br />

At the conclusion <strong>of</strong> the sermon, the Minister reported<br />

the following results:<br />

The first worm in alcohol - Dead.<br />

The second worm in cigarette smoke - Dead<br />

The Third worm in chocolate syrup -Dead<br />

Fourth worm in good clean soil -Alive.<br />

So the Minister asked the congregation<br />

What did you learn from this demonstration?<br />

Maxine was sitting in the back,<br />

quickly raised her hand and said,<br />

'As long as you drink, smoke and eat chocolate,<br />

you won't have worms!'<br />
