Hildalicious: If the gospel wasn't preached to you or if the missionaries had your mindset, would you have known about it? For all we know we would still be idol worshippers. Showing your faith can be in so many ways; you might see someone going the wrong part and decide to talk to the person. |

Food / Health Benefits Of Eating Avocado Pear. by vera031(f): 11:24am On Feb 12, 2015 |
Many of us do not have to be “sold” on the benefits of avocados—their silky texture and versatile flavor make them hard not to love. But when studies show that avocado-eaters are healthier overall than their counterparts, we feel justified in our love-affair with avocados. And the research may even convince some non-avocado-eaters to cross over to the other side. Avocados are also considered as one of the healthiest foods in the planet because they contain in excess of 25 essential nutrients, including vitamin A, B, C, E, & K, copper, iron, phosporus, magnesium, and potassium. Avocados also contain fiber, protein, and several beneficial phytochemicals such as beta-sitosterol, glutathione and lutein, which may protect against various disease and illnesses. Here are 15 health benefits of avocados: Maintain a healthy heart Avocado contains vitamin B6 and folic acid, which help regulate homocysteine levels. High level of homocysteine is associated with an increased risk of heart disease. Avocado also contains vitamin E, glutathione, and monounsaturated fat, which help in maintaining a healthy heart. Lower cholesterol levels Avocados are rich in a compound called beta-sitosterol which has been shown to be effective in lowering blood cholesterol levels. According to a study, patients with mild hypercholesterolemia who included avocados in their diet for 7 days had 17 percent decrease in total blood cholesterol levels, a 22 percent decrease in both LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglyceride levels, and a 11 percent increase in HDL (good cholesterol) levels. Control blood pressure Avocados are also a great source of potassium, which helps in controlling blood pressure levels. Anti-Inflammatory properties Phytonutrient compound found in avocados, such as polyphenols and flavonoids have been found to have anti-inflammatory properties, thereby reducing the risk of inflammatory and degenerative disorders. Promote eye health Avocado is an excellent source of carotenoid lutein, which known to help protect against age-related macular degeneration and cataracts. Regulate the blood sugar levels The monounsaturated (good) fats in avocados can reverse insulin resistance which help to regulate blood sugar levels. Avocados also contain soluble fiber which keep a steady blood sugar levels. Prevent birth defects Avocados are rich in folate, a B vitamin commonly known as folic acid. One cup of avocado provides about 23% of the recommended daily value of folate. The high amount of folate in avocado is essential in the prevention of birth defects, such as neural tube defect and spina bifida. Reduce strokes risk The high levels of folate in avocados may also protect against stroke. A study has shown that individuals who ate a diet rich in folate had a lower risk of stroke than those who did not Protect against cancer Many studies have shown that avocado can inhibit the growth of prostate cancer. The oleic acid in avocado is also effective in preventing breast cancer. Fight free radicals Avocados contain glutathione, a powerful antioxidants that helps fight free radicals in the body. Anti-aging properties Being rich in antioxidants, avocado is beneficial in preventing aging symptoms. The glutathione in avocado may boosts immune systems, slows aging process, and encourages a healthy nervous system. Cure bad breath Avocados are one of the best natural mouth wash and bad breath remedies. It is cleanses intestine which is the real cause of coated tongue and bad breath. Increase nutrient absorption Avocado intake is linked with an increased nutrient absorption. A study suggests that, when participants ate salad included avocados, they absorbed five times the amount of carotenoids (a group of nutrients that includes beta carotene and lycopene) than those who did not include avocados. Skin Care The avocado oil is added in many cosmetics because of its ability to nourish the skin and make your skin glow. It also aids in treating psoriasis, a skin disease that causes skin redness and irritation. Weight gain The avocado has 200 calories for 100 grams. Typically, fruits has approximately 60-80 calories for 100 grams. Due to the high amounts of calories, avocado is a best diet for people who want to gain weight. Avocado is a healthy source of calories, unlike many other calorie-dense foods that may contain excess saturated fats and sugar. Source:www.undergroundhealth.com 1 Like

Religion / Why Are We Scared Of Professing Our Faith In Public? by vera031(f): 11:15am On Feb 12, 2015 |
Most atimes we all get scared of professing our faith. For example: You see a Catholic who cannot say the grace before meal or make the sign of the cross because he/she is outside. You see a christain who is afraid to share the gospel either in their place of work or in the bus because they are scared of what people might say. Most of us eat outside without praying. Why? Are we scared of someone or something? Are we shy because we are christains? Or is it by your grace grace that you are hale and hearthy even after the meal?. Most people are even ready to renounce their faith when threatened. Please I need an answer.......... Why are we scared |

There are three things that the Devil fears most 1. The name of Jesus 2. The name of Mary 3. The most holy rosary. I love our mother Mary soo much. For all those who do not believe you have your choice to make. The catholic church will continue to remain one and universal.we pray that our Mother will give us the grace to say our rosary daily and honour her more fervently. 1 Like
