Avocado
For
us to laud avocados' myriad benefits
is nothing new.
Avocados are true superfoods. They
are wonderful sources of dietary
fiber, vitamin C,
potassium, vitamin E, and lutein.
The belief that avocados are
fattening is a misnomer. The fat
contained in avocado is
monounsaturated, the same as olive
oil.
From an environmental perspective,
the avocado tree could not be more
beneficial. It absorbs as much
carbon dioxide as any plant in the
world. One tree can offset 26,000
car miles per year.
When purchasing avocados, try
to pick ones with the
"button" - the tip of the
stem - still attached. If not, make
sure the indentation where the
button used to be is green and not
black, which means it could be
rotten. We feature avocado in Recipe
Du Jour.

You Know? |
Hypochlorhydria
Heartburn/GERD/Acid Reflux can occur
because of too little stomach acid.
How is this possible?
When stomach acid level is low, it
is no longer a sterile environment.
As we discussed with H.pylori,
bacteria populates the area vacated
by stomach acid and proliferates in
the small intestine and colon. The
bacteria putrefies food in the
stomach, which produce volatile
gases. The pressure from the gas
shoots the remaining stomach acid
into the esophagus.
Your physician should rule out
Hypochlorhydria before considering
acid blocking/neutralizing
medication. They can make the
situation worse if you have this
condition.
For those diagnosed with
Hypochlorhydria, betaine
hydrochloric acid is usually
recommended. You must be screened by
a licensed health professional to
find the proper dose. If taken
improperly, betaine HCL can cause
heartburn and ulcers.

Have a happy, healthy day.
