Good to know...

When I used to go to the schools to do the sex education I would talk to young girls about periods and reproduction, and I used a pear to show them the size and shape of the womb. Cut a pear in half with the stalk pointing downwards, and the rounded top end looks like the body of the womb with the cervix represented as the lower, longer end of the pear. A pip in the middle demonstrated perfectly where the baby starts to grow. The thick pulp represented the three layers of muscles that thin out over the nine months of pregnancy when the growing baby stretches the womb.

‘Avocados and pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female – and they look just like these organs. Today’s research shows that when a woman eats 1 avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight and prevents cervical cancers.’ 
What’s more …. it’s avocado season now, so tuck into those avo’s ladies …. they’re good for you!
