Avcado

　　You might think of it as a vegetable,but this is actually a fruit.And not just any fruit,but a fruit that has been shown to lower cholesterol.They are also rich in folic acid,which can prevent some kinds of common birth defects.Even more interesting is that avocados are the ultimate life hack fruit:when you eat an avocado with other vegetables,you absorb more nutrients from the meal than you would have from eating the vegetables alone.Top your salad with a few slices of avocado,and you'll be increasing your intake of vitamins and minerals from the meal.

　　鳄梨

　　可能你会以为它是一种蔬菜，但它确确实实是一种水果，并且，它还不单纯是种普通水果，而是一种能够降低人体胆固醇的水果。此外，它还富含叶酸，能预防一些常见的先天性畸形病。更有意思的是，鳄梨是一种催化剂:如果你把鳄梨和其他蔬菜棍搭着吃，会比你单独吃某个蔬菜吸收更多的营养。你可以在色拉上放几片跨梨，这样能提高维生素和矿物质的摄取量。

　　最近我在一本名为"Urawaza"的书里看到过这样一个有关如何加速芒果成熟的方法，在这里复述一下。如果你发现刚从超市买回来的芒果，依然很坚硬，你可以将其浸在水里，用小火做炖10分钟，这样就会加快它的成熟过程。你越早吃上芒果，就能越早感受它所带来的益处。
