TIPS ON FRUITS AND VEGGIES:

Avocado

• Avocados are rich in monounsaturated fat, which is easily burned for energy.
• An avocado has more than twice as much potassium as a banana.
• For a delicious, creamy salad dressing, mix together avocado and fresh carrot juice.

Onions

• Onions are an excellent antioxidant, and they contain anti-allergy, antiviral and antihistamine properties.
• Sulfur compounds in onions help to detoxify the body.
• Onions aid in cellular repair.
• Onions are a rich source of quercetin, a potent antioxidant.
• To obtain the maximum nutritional benefits, onions should be eaten raw or lightly steamed

Bananas

• You don’t need to eat bananas
  for the potassium! (Although it is present in bananas, potassium is the predominant nutrient among most all fruits and vegetables.)
• Bananas are high in sugar,
  so they should not be eaten if you have blood sugar problems.
• Don’t eat bananas on an empty stomach; combining them with a bit of protein will help to normalize the insulin response caused by the sugar in the banana.
• Green-tipped bananas are better for your health than over-ripe bananas.
• On a side note: Because bananas are so popular, rainforests are often destroyed to make way for banana plantations.
