Benefits of Avocado

[Beorn]

I had a dream that avocados can be used to draw in and hold negative energy just like the way onions can draw in harmful bacteria. I would like to know if this is true but can't think of any way to verify the dream. I think it might be an interesting question for the C's, or someone here might have some more information?

Wow for me that would be a huge nightmare. I eat avacados several times a week. Its one of the few things left for the KD deit that's ok for our family. It has. Oleic acid, lipase,vitE, carotenoids, B complex and C vitamens. Also has potassium,magnesium, iron, calcium, and phosphorus. I feel good after eating avacados. I think somewhere on this forum it talks about protection from breast cancer.

Uhhmm, horseofadifferentcolor, there are lots of things to eat on a ketogenic diet - the way you talk about it, it sounds like you're depriving your family and the opposite should be the case. Avocados are one of the "few things left"?

No, not deprived but days when I am missing apples, grapes, and potatoes it feels that way. Mabey that was an emotional responce. I really really enjoy avacados! I even bought a tree that we have to bring in every year

Well if it is true you could still eat them, just not eat them after they have been opened and left out for a while.

I tend to try and stay away from avocado as I get the same weird feeling I get when consuming any carbs, it's just not worth it because of the consequences of digesting it. I never liked it or any other fruit anyway...

So JP, it sounds like an interesting dream but afaic, all you need is fat, some meat and spices for a healthy but variable diet :) - as if you don't get creative it will seem monotone... - maybe every once in a while it's fine. Like once a week/month. This way you can more easily observe its effects on yourself also. But imo, no fat beats real organic animal fat! :P

fwiw, I wouldn't be surprised if what your dream suggested was true

Personally I love avocado's, they are a great low carb fruit full of healthy cholesterol & fat, great to have on any salad! In regards to verifying your dream we are a little out of the loop in terms of being able to messure such things,

If you were correct (hypothetically) with this being an energy related issue the up bringing of the plant might have a great impact? If grown in a tranquil envornment in a relatively natural area it may be different? Also a simple blessing of your food & water that you are feeding the plant and then of the fruit before consuming will also work wonders.

At the end of the day I would always say go with your gut though but perhaps the dream could be relating to the particular avocado's you are eating, as mentioned geographical location of the plant greatly differs the nutritional content of it. The particular ones your getting may have been cold stored forever and a day and may even be grown with DET's in the soil and other nasties that may effect your body negatively and hence your energy centres may suffer. You are what you eat....

My two cents,

Brent.
