Avocado Juice


I like Avocado juice. The Avocado juice selling at Alexandra Food Centre (opposite Queensway Shopping Centre) taste so...good and only cost $2 per cup, better than the one at Sanur Indonesian Restaurant.

The flesh of a ripe avocado is as good for you as it tastes. It is a rich source of vitamin E and a good source of potassium, with useful amounts of vitamin B6, and lutein. It also supplies vitamin C, riboflavin and manganese. Vitamins C and E are both antioxidants and can therefore help to prevent the free radical damage that might lead to certain cancers. Potassium helps to control blood pressure and maintain a regular heartbeat and a healthy nervous system. Vitamin B6 is important for the normal functioning of the nervous system, and lutein helps to prevent cataracts and macular degeneration.
