Ellen Degeneres talks about her avocado ranch on occasion.
Avocados as we explained in past posts are quite beneficial
to your health. Listed below is a recipe for salsa
that not only has avocados but the beneficial fruit mango as well.
Mangoes-a tropical fruit is one of the best foods to eat if you
want to avoid certain cancers.

or just serve with chips. (preferably blue chips)

Ellen Degeneres' Rx For Better Eyesight!

                                     The Food Combo For Better Eyesight! 

You know T.V. host Ellen DeGeneres likes to dance, give away stuff,
play pranks, have English sensations Rosie and Sophia Grace on...
frequently, and tend to her avocados.
That's right- Ellen and Portia own a large piece of land, that has a lot
of avocado trees.
If  you only use avocados to make guacamole, then it's time to make
a change. A change for better eyesight.

Yes, using the fruit (avocado is a fruit) and mixing it into a salad,
improves eyesight.
Avocados help you absorb more lutein, more alpha-carotene and
more beta-carotene. And these nutrients all help sharpen vision and
prevent macular degeneration, one of leading causes of blindness.

So, if failing eyesight is something you're afraid of- add a few slices
of avocados to your lettuce, tomato, carrots, onions, garlic, and
some cucumbers. And make sure the dressing contains some fat,
like olive or macadamia nut oil. And lastly, don't add strips of bacon,
croutons (especially from white bread) ham, cheese, and mayo.
Poor eyesight isn't the only thing you'll be worried about, a bigger
waistline will also be a concern.

Good Luck!
