For the first 72 hours after a sprain or muscle strain, you should avoid HARM. This means you should avoid: 1  Heat â such as hot baths, saunas or heat packs. 2  Alcohol â drinking alcohol will increase bleeding and swelling, and slow healing.  Running â or any other form of exercise that could cause more damage.
Like the banana, the avocado is a climacteric fruit, which matures on the tree, but ripens off the tree. Avocados used in commerce are picked hard and green and kept in coolers at 3.3 to 5.6 Â°C (37.9 to 42.1 Â°F) until they reach their final destination. Avocados must be mature to ripen properly.
Avocados are a nutrient-dense fruit and a source of good fatsâboth monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. One-fifth of a medium avocado (1 oz) has 50 calories and nearly 20 vitamins and minerals. Find information on avocados and reducing calorie intake.
