Avocado: The World’s Healthiest Food
If you were stranded on a desert island and could have just one food with you, what would you choose. I would choose an avocado. The avocado page on the Whole Foods website offers an amazingly comprehensive explanation of the seemingly endless nutritional value of the avocado, but here is why I try to eat one every day. Avocados are:
- full of antioxidants
- enhance the absorption of other antioxidants
- anti-inflammatory
- full of good fats
- blood sugar regulators
Add an egg to it, like I did for breakfast this morning and you get:
- a complete range of amino acids
- all the B vitamins
- rich source of selenium and iodine, minerals difficult to obtain from other foods
- omega-3 fats
Recipe
- cut 1 avocado in half, remove the pit and scoop out a little extra if needed
- drop one egg in each avocado half
- sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste
- bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes (don’t overcook!)
