“Good guacamole requires ripe avocados and little else — lime, salt, a touch of chili if you like. I resist the temptation to add too much, and it's always worth it. Ready in five minutes and gone in about the same time.”

Why this works — Mila's notes
AVOCADO AND MONOUNSATURATED FATS
Avocado's monounsaturated fats stabilize blood sugar, support hormones, and enhance the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K—beneficial for skin, bones, and fertility.
TOMATO AND LYCOPENE
Lycopene in tomatoes fights oxidative stress and inflammation. Paired with avocado's healthy fats, its absorption increases significantly, amplifying benefits for skin and heart health.
CILANTRO AND MINERAL BIOAVAILABILITY
Cilantro improves mineral absorption, supports gut balance and liver function, and promotes estrogen metabolism—especially helpful for women.
