Avocado stones (pits) are extremely high in insoluble fibre, which binds to excess cholesterol, and there is more anti-oxidant in the stone than the rest of the avocado!
The avocado stone is surprisingly soft – simply cut through the whole avocado, and the knife goes through the stone. Safer than trying to cut a slippery stone.
I’ve tried the stone grated in salad – it’s OK if you like a bitter taste. The best way is to add half an avocado stone to your green smoothie.

Cold water boosts your circulation, releases toxins and gives you a glorious sense of well-being! I’m not as brave as my mother who took a cold bath every morning for sixty odd years.

Try this easy way to break your craving for sweet things. When you find yourself drawn to the chocolate box, or the biscuit tin yet again, munch on a stick of celery instead, and watch your craving disappear.
I was slowly losing the range of movement in my right arm. ‘No problem’ thought I, ‘I had this before with my other shoulder. Some Bowen Technique sessions resolved it, so I’ll have some more’. However, after several sessions my shoulder movement was even more restricted. I tried various self-help techniques, and had sessions from some healing masters, with no long term improvement.
