Avocado is a super food

By Ms H   Judit Hadnagy

Avocado fruit protects your cardiovascular health, reduces inflammation from arthritis, and rejuvenates your skin and hair.

70% of the total antioxidant content of the fruit is found in the seed.  The conclusion is that the seed of avocado, which is usually thrown away, is more nutritious than the fruit’s flesh. You should start eating avocado seeds and skin.

The health benefits of avocado seeds are the followings:
