The next time stress has you hankering for a high fat, creamy treat, skip the ice cream and try some homemade guacamole-the thick, rich texture can reduce those frantic feelings. Plus, the green wonders’ double whammy of monounsaturated fat and potassium can lower blood pressure. One of the best ways to reduce high blood pressure, according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, is to get enough potassium – and just half an avocado offers 487 milligrams, more than you will get from a medium sized banana. So the next time your visiting Zocalo give your heart and tastebuds a treat!
