How to Ripen Avocados Fast and Naturally
Healthy avocados are best ripened at home so you can use them just as they become soft. It can be risky to buy ones that you think are already ready at the store for two reasons.
Firstly, you don’t know how long it has been soft for. From my experience, there’s a fair chance it will be overripe and starting to go off in the middle.
Secondly, if a loose avocado has been sitting on the supermarket shelf for long enough to turn soft it will have had a lot of fingers pressing into it and bruising the pulp to brown.

How to Use Papaya Seeds for Parasites
Intestinal parasites are a far more common problem than most people realize. They are also notoriously difficult to diagnose due to the wide variety of symptoms that can result from a parasitic infection.
Some, but by no means all of these symptoms can include bloating and excessive gas, frequent diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, extreme fatigue, an increasing number of allergies and poor general immunity combined with a lack of energy and regular sickness.
