Back in 1988 after one year of battling anorexia, massive hair despair over shedding, I found the avocado. In many ways the pulpy green fruit was my health, hair and beauty salvation. While a 12 step program and therapist helped me find my ultimate food serenity, a nutritionist help me recover and regrow my hair, skin and body with avocados.
No, not just avocodos. There were a lot of sprouts, almonds, seaweed and other hair building foods, but it was the beautiful green dark green avocado which became my touchstone for all things healthy in my life.
Since my first discovery of the health giving benefits of the avocado for my body, skin and hair, I have been obsessed with trying a range of avocado recipes.
