My Favourite Healthy Lunch

I just love waking up to ripe avocados! I purchase them when they are hard so it takes a good few days before they're ripe enough to eat. 

So this afternoon I had my absolute favourite lunch; 

Avocado & Tomato on a slice of wholemeal bread 

with a sprinkle of black ground pepper. Yum. 

Avocado tastes so good to me that I feel like it should be unhealthy but it has so many health benefits!

Can't have it without a good ole cuppa English Tea 

Here's a Few Health Benefits of Avacado

• Excellent source of monounsaturated oleic acid which is known to decrease dangerous low-density lipoprotein cholesterol while increasing beneficial high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. 
• Contains a rich variety of heart nutrients including vitamin E for preventing cholesterol oxidization; folate for reducing dangerous homocysteine levels in the blood; potassium for regulating blood pressure; phytosterols for reducing cholesterol absorption; and dietary fibre to control blood sugar levels.
• The monounsaturated fats in avocado are also beneficial for improving your skin tone. They are vital for maintaining good moisture levels in the epidermal layer of your skin that make it look and feel soft and healthy. Avocado benefits also include protecting your skin from wrinkles and other visible signs of aging
• The monounsaturated fatty acids found in Avocados are more likely to be used as slow burning energy than stored as body fat. This slow burning energy satisfies the body for a long period of time which is why Avocados are known for reducing hunger and appetite.
