Benefits of the Avocado Seed - destroys cancer cells !

While most of us are used to slicing an avocado in half and throwing out its seed, or maybe even re-planting it, it has been proven that many of the health benefits attributed to avocado are in its seed! Although the surprising news sounds a little problematic due to the hardness of the seed, there is nothing to worry about, since you can use it without any problem, and even enjoy a wonderfully refreshing drink that will strengthen your body and improve your health.

Spend a few minutes learning about the health benefits of the avocado seed, and there's no doubt that the next time you cut your favorite fruit, you’ll no longer throw the extra part of it into the trash.

It turns out that more than 70% of the antioxidant capacity attributed to avocados is found inside the seed, which until now we used to remove and throw away. The University of Pennsylvania recently published a study on the health benefits of avocado seeds, which found that phenolic antioxidants found in the seeds may reduce and prevent high cholesterol, high blood pressure, inflammatory conditions and diabetes, as well as strengthen the immune system.

In addition, it was found that the seeds contain fungicides and antimicrobial properties. “Any heart disease patient must eat the avocado including the seed,” claims Dr. Tom Wu, who won the American Cancer Society's "Significant Contribution" award and the "World Famous Doctor" award he received from the UN for his breakthroughs on Cancer Research and Diabetes. It is, therefore, a great opportunity to know the five health benefits of the avocado seed.

1. Treats infections  
Avocado seeds can reduce infections that can develop and lead to many chronic diseases such as; arthritis, heart disease, stroke and even cancer, all associated with acute inflammation within the body that causes the disease. Both avocado and its seeds contain higher levels of antioxidants than most fruits and vegetables, such as catechins that act as anti-inflammatory, analgesic, treat swelling, and maintain joint function. 
 
2. Helps the digestive system function  
Another benefit found in avocado seeds is their ability to perform miracles on the digestive system, thanks to the antioxidants and the dietary fibers found in them. Once you add avocado seeds to your daily diet, your digestive system will undoubtedly be grateful, whether it is stomach problems or infections or diarrhea. 
 
3. Improves skin appearance 
Avocado seeds are the perfect food for your skin! The antioxidants found in them can restore the collagen protein that helps make the skin firm and supple, reducing wrinkles, repairing damage to cells by free radicals, and improving skin appearance and texture in general.
4. Contributes to a sense of satiety over time  
The avocado seeds are rich in fiber, which can keep you full for a long time. Moreover, they can help control blood sugar, and once your blood glucose level is stable throughout the day, you are less likely to be tempted to eat foods that are unhealthy and even harmful. 
 
5. Destroys cancer cells 
A study conducted at Columbia University in 2013 found that avocado seed extract had pro-apoptotic effects on leukemia cells. This means that this extract causes the leukemia cells to destroy themselves, leaving the healthy and stable cells in the body. In addition, avocado seeds contain flavonoids, which are powerful antioxidants that can thwart the growth and spread of tumors.

Benefits Of Ginger Tea

Ginger is a popular spice and has been used for its medicinal properties for thousands of years now. Some may find it difficult to manage the taste and aroma of the spice; however, it can protect your body from a number of health conditions that you may face regularly.

So, if you are tired of popping pills every time you get an upset stomach or you are down with a cold, try using ginger to combat the issue. If you are having difficulty biting into a raw ginger for its benefits, you should definitely try ginger tea.

Here are some amazing benefits of ginger tea that can heal your body if you have mild health conditions.

1. Beats All Kinds Of Nausea

Ginger is considered to be a safe treatment for nausea and vomiting, even during pregnancy too. Ginger tea is also good for morning or travel sickness and for improving sluggish circulation. It can also treat post-operative nausea and therapy-induced nausea. It is always best to prepare your own ginger tea with freshly chopped ginger root in boiling water. However, some people also use ginger powder or ginger syrup. These may not be as effective as the freshly cut ginger root tea.

2. Treats Cold And Cough

Ginger tea is also effective in treating cold and cough. Ginger has antiviral and antibacterial properties that can protect the body from infections by increasing the immunity levels. If you have a severe cough, the respiratory tract may get inflamed and ginger, with its anti-inflammatory property, can bring down the inflammation in your respiratory system. Similarly, the soothing, warm action of ginger tea can melt and remove the mucus trapped in the lungs to treat cough. Drinking some ginger tea is also effective in easing spasms associated with severe coughing.  In 400 ml water, finely chop or grate 2 tsp of ginger, 15 tulsi leaves washed and 2 peppercorns crushed, let it simmer for 5 minutes, strain, divide into 3 parts approximately, drink 1 part at once as hot as possible. I drink it plain, in case, you can add honey or sugar 1 tsp. The remaining 2 parts, warm and drink in afternoon and night, with this the heaviness in the head also reduces and your cold gets a lot better.

3. Eases Muscle Pain And Soreness

Ginger tea is good to ease your muscle aches and soreness after a strenuous workout. The anti-inflammatory properties of ginger contribute to this health benefit. In fact, after a heavy workout, sipping on the ginger tea will also help you rehydrate your body.

Ginger may also be effective in treating serious illnesses like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. This is because ginger can suppress inflammatory molecules reducing joint pain and inflammation associated with the conditions. Having four cups of ginger tea daily may ease the pain. However, it is always better to check with your doctor before you change your diet as it may interfere with medications

4. Controls Menstrual Pain

If you experience severe pain during menstruation, ginger tea can alleviate the pain. Studies have shown that ginger is as effective as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that work by reducing the hormones that cause inflammation and pain. Therefore, if you want to ease your menstrual pain naturally without medications, have a cup of warm ginger tea.

5. Lowers Cholesterol Levels

Ginger tea lowers the bad cholesterol in your body. It helps reduce the total cholesterol and triglycerides present in the blood. This can help lower your risk of developing heart diseases and other serious illnesses. If you already have a high cholesterol and are on medications, speak to your doctor before you start drinking ginger tea to reduce it further.

6. Improves Digestive Functions

Ginger is very effective for gastrointestinal issues like diarrhea, appetite loss, etc. Ginger tea can also do the same to help your digestive system function better. It can also help with chronic indigestion. Studies have shown that it can also reduce inflammation in the colon if that is the cause of your digestive issue. If you have a mild stomach upset and don’t want to take medicines, ginger tea is an effective remedy that can ease the discomfort.

7. May Help Prevent Cancer

Ginger is a good source of antioxidants. The antioxidants are capable of fighting free radicals that can damage the body cells and can eventually cause cancer. Therefore, this means that sipping on ginger tea will give your body enough antioxidants that can fight disease-causing free radicals and can inhibit the growth of cancer cells. Ginger and ginger tea may be used to treat breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and pancreatic cancer.

Apart from these benefits, ginger tea may also be effective in lowering the blood sugar levels, 
reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes. If you already have diabetes, it may help control your sugar levels, too. Ginger tea may also protect the body from age-related decline in the brain function.

Therefore, adding ginger in the form of ginger tea to your diet may be a good decision. Homemade ginger tea may be more effective than ginger powder. All you need to do is chop some fresh ginger root and boil it in water. If you cannot take the raw flavor, you can add honey, mint, or even lemon to your tea.

Before you start having ginger tea on a regular basis, try it one cup at a time. It is rare to experience side effects with ginger or ginger tea. However, some people may experience minor side effects like a burning sensation or a heartburn. High doses of ginger tea may also cause nausea and stomach ailments. Pregnant and breastfeeding women, diabetics, heart patients, and those suffering from gallstones should not take ginger tea without speaking to the health professional. If you are on blood-thinning medications, ginger tea may interfere with the medicines that may worsen the condition.
