Avocado nutrients feed your brain, blood, eyes, hair, heart, mouth/teeth, nerves, nose and skin!  This fruit (seed in the center), grow on trees in CA and FL, are easily found in the stores now.  Pick some up, ripen them in paper bags, and serve them in salads, wraps, dips (guacomole),tacos and on top of fish, shrimp, eggs and chicken dishes.  Ripe ones melt in your mouth.  They are loaded with essential fatty acids especially needed for healthy brain development and maintenance – all good calories!  To make one go a long way, chop it into small pieces.  Their thick skin provides protection so no need to buy organic. Try to serve one a week in your home.

… for the health of your family,
