Avocado57I eat a LOT of avocado. Not a salad, smoothie orsoup goes by without me adding at least 1/2 anavocado per person. I probably eat at least fivesevenper week, myself.Now, I know a lot of people give avocado a bad repbecause it is a high-fat food (85% of it’s caloriescome from fats) – but this is totally insane. Theseare good fats that will not make you gain weight. Ifanything, due to the high content of oleic acid (makingit an omega 9 fat and very similar to olive oil), itcan lower total cholesterol level and raise levels ofhigh-density lipoproteins (HDLs) while lowering lowdensitylipoproteins (LDLs), also known as the “bad”cholesterol. Oleic acid also slows the developmentof heart disease, and promotes the production ofantioxidants.These beneficial omega oils also help speed themetabolism, actually leading to weight loss ratherthan gain.Nutrients per 1 CupDietary Fiber: 40% RDAVitamin K: 38% RDAFolate: 30% RDAVitamin C: 24% RDAVitamin B5: 20% RDAPotassium: 20% RDAVitamin B6: 19% RDASo now we’re over the fat issue, avocado also containsa wide range of other nutrients that have seriousanti-inflammatory, heart health, cardiovascularhealth, anti-cancer, and blood sugar benefits.Containing key antioxidants such as alpha-carotene,beta-carotene, lutein, selenium and more – it isa powerful, alkaline, nutrient-dense superfood.Research on Avocado:Avocado & Adult Health: Fulgoni V, Dreher M,Davenport A.

Celery58Celery, like cucumber is a favourite because it’salkaline AND really high water content, so is usedvery frequently as a base in juices and soups (not somuch smoothies as you have to juice it first…andthen you have double the washing up).One of celery’s big benefits is it’s vitamin C level,which has the well known benefits – but two of it’slesser known nutrients are phthalides which havebeen shown to lower cholesterol and coumarinswhich have been shown to inhibit several cancers.The beauty of vitamin C rich foods are that theyhelp with the most common and most challenginghealth concerns – they support the immune system,inflammation (so helps with arthritis, osteoporosis,asthma etc), and vitamin C also helps significantlywith cardiovascular health.If you are on a weight loss journey, you’ll also behappy to hear that this alkaline staple containsplenty of potassium and sodium and so is a diuretic– meaning it helps rid the body of excess fluids.Nutrients per 1 CupVitamin K: 37% RDAFolate: 9% RDAVitamin A: 9% RDAPotassium: 8% RDAMolybdenum: 7% RDADietary Fiber: 6% RDAVitamin C: 5% RDAResearch on Celery:Celery and Hypertension: Kurl S, Tuomainen TP,Laukkanen JA et al.
