#56 - The Healthiest Foods For Your Body (2)

Hello Steemit, here is another 2 healthiest foods to share.

AVOCADO

• Rich in healthy, satisfying fats proven in one study to lower cholesterol by about 22 percent.

• One has more than half the fiber and 40 percent of the folate you need daily, which may reduce your risk of heart disease.

• Avocado health benefits include acting as an aphrodisiac, helps in treating arthritis, helps with diabetes management, promotes skin health, promotes weight loss, a rich source of fiber, can help improve cholesterol profile, bolster absorption of plant-based nutrients, support eye health, contain essential folic acid, and help promote liver function.

Tip: Adding it to your salad can increase the absorption of key nutrients like beta-carotene by three to five times compared with salads without this superfood.

GARLIC

• Garlic is a powerful disease fighter that can inhibit the growth of bacteria, including E. coli.

• Allicin, a compound found in garlic, works as a potent anti-inflammatory and has been shown to help lower cholesterol and blood-pressure levels.

• Garlic health benefits include controlling blood pressure, enhancing body immunity, reducing levels of LDL cholesterol, helps in preventing neurological-degenerative diseases, removes heavy metal toxins from the body, benefits bones tissue and optimize microflora cultures. Other benefits include preventing blood clots, helping in treating yeast infections, reducing asthma episodes, supporting eye health, supporting liver heart and helping in treating eczema.

Tip: Crushed fresh garlic releases the most allicin. Just don't overcook; garlic exposed to high heat for more than 10 minutes loses important nutrients.

I love the avocado so much. Every time I make vegetables salad I will add avocado. I always use garlic in my cooking too. Good for health and taste so good.
