THIS Is What Happens To Your BODY If You Eat 1 Avocado A Day For A Month
image via – shutterstock.com
Forget “an apple a day” for maintaining optimal health, what you should be eating everyday is an avocado. The tasty fruits are packed full of the power boosting vitamins and nutrients that our bodies want and need, making them one of nature’s superfoods.
The green, tough-skinned fruits are actually large berries that grow on avocado trees. Their insides have a distinct buttery smooth texture, which makes them great for spreading on top of stuff. Since they’re mild tasting and on the bland side, they’re also great for mixing into a variety of recipes.
Those factors make it easy for anyone to work a daily serving of avocado into their diet, and doing so can make a huge positive impact on your bodily health and wellness. Here are the main benefits you can expect to gain from an avocado.
1) Vitamins and Nutrients- Avocados are a rich source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, folate, niacin and riboflavin, plus vitamins K, B6, and E. They even contain twice the amount of potassium compared to a banana!
2) Healthy Fats- While many people avoid avocados because they’re known to be high in fat it’s monounsaturated, or the good kind of fat, that they contain. Healthy fats are good for us because they can actually help to lower bad cholesterol levels, which in turn is great for our hearts.
3) Aid with Weight Loss- When you eat an avocado you’ll likely feel fuller for longer and therefore you won’t be as inclined to snack on sweets and things later on. Studies have shown that people who eat meals which include at least a half of an avocado snack less overall. This is because the healthy fats they contain help keep insulin and glucose levels stable by producing a ketogenic effect, which also optimizes metabolism.
4) Improve your Eyesight- The lutein and zeaxanthin in avocados help to strengthen and improve your vision, plus they protect eyes against macular degeneration.
5) They’re Free of Pesticides- The thick, rough skin that covers the soft inside works wonders at protecting them from harmful pesticides, toxins, and fertilizers. Out of all the produce available in grocery stores that were tested for pesticide residues, avocados were the cleanest and only 1% of those tested showed any trace of pesticides. (www.ewg.org/)
There are lots more health benefits that avocados have to offer. They can help improve just about anything, from protecting unborn babies to inhibiting and preventing certain cancers. The accompanying video goes over all this and more, it’s truly eye opening and amazing just how good they are for you.
Even if you don’t like to eat them, you can use them in beauty treatments for skin and hair. The next time you go to the store pick a few up and start working them into your diet and beauty routine!
Will you be adding this to your diet daily?

Apparently This Is What Happens To Your Body When You Eat Pink Himalayan Salt Once A Day For a Month!
image via – youtube.com
The Himalayas are a vast mountain range that formed tens of millions of years ago when the huge Indian landmass collided with Asia. Ever since then the mountains have been steadily growing, at a rate of about 4-5 mm a year, according to National Geographic.
That is part of the reason why 9 out of 10 of the world’s highest peaks are found there, one of which boasts the highest elevation on Earth, Mount Everest. Over a thousand miles away from the world’s most famous peak, in northern Pakistan, lies the foothills of the Salt Range and the Khewra Salt Mine.
This is where most of the Himalayan pink sea salt is found. Millions of years ago a shallow sea evaporated and left behind tons of crystallized sea salt which over time became buried deep below the mineral rich mountains.
The salt mines have been open and active for well over a hundred years, yet only recently have the immense health benefits of pink Himalayan sea salt been widely recognized. The natural formation of the salt beds underground led to a number of trace minerals being added to it.
There are 84 minerals and trace elements found within pink Himalayan salt including calcium, potassium, sulfates, zinc, copper, magnesium, iodine, iron, and more. These minerals, especially iron, are what gives the salt its distinctive pink color and makes it the most mineral dense type of salt in the world. Here’s a few additional health benefits that it offers:
Helps detox our body- in conjunction with water, salt helps our bodies move toxins out of healthy cells and into the bloodstream. From there our kidneys, spleen, and liver filter the toxins and impurities out of the blood and remove them from our systems.
Lowers blood pressure- pink sea salt can actually help reduce blood pressure because it has less sodium per serving than regular table salt. The crystal structure of sea salt is larger than that of refined types, thus the crystals take up more room and fewer crystals amount to a serving, leading to less sodium per serving. It turns out that switching from table salt to sea salt can lead to less sodium being consumed, without sacrificing taste, and lower blood pressure over time.
Aids in relaxation- your mind, body, and muscles will feel better since sea salt’s composition allow it the be absorbed fast and efficiently into the bloodstream. This means tired, worn muscles are restored and replenished quickly and naturally, so your body is less stressed and can relax.
Helps with sinus and respiratory issues- a simple drink of sea salt dissolved in hot water can help clear up lingering sinus problems. It has also been shown to effectively improve respiratory conditions, such as asthma. Crystal salt rock lamps emit negative ions into the atmosphere which helps to purify and clean the air, and in turn clear up sinus issues.
There are several more benefits that pink Himalayan sea salt can offer your body. It has been shown to help people sleep better and even cuts down on the likelihood of a person developing varicose, or spider veins, by reversing damage done to veins. Check out the video for more information and try pink Himalayan sea salt if you haven’t already done so yet!

$20 Used Couch Was Unreasonably Uncomfortable! When They Unzip A Cushion They Find an UNTHINKABLE Surprise!
image via – youtube.com
When you’re on a budget, the last thing you want to do is spend a lot of money on furniture. This is especially true for anyone with a limited income, like college students, who are also oftentimes racking up student loans and many other expenses associated with their education. That’s why buying secondhand furniture is so appealing to many people, it’s the cheapest, easiest way to furnish your place without breaking the budget.
When Reese Werkhoven, Cally Guasti, and Lara Russo decided to move in together, the roommates needed to furnish their new digs and so they headed over to the local Salvation Army in New Paltz, New York. Money was tight because Reese was in his third year at SUNY Potsdan, while Laura had graduated a year prior, and Cally had just recently graduated from Mount Holyoke College. They were searching for a couch and didn’t want to spend a lot, so buying used was the smartest way to get a cheap one.
After looking around, they found a nice sized couch that would fit in their living room for only twenty dollars. While it wasn’t brand new or the best looking sofa they’d ever seen, it was good enough for lounging around on and the price was too good to pass up. Once they moved it into their new place and got it all set up, they sat down and immediately noticed that it was not very comfortable. It seemed really lumpy, and no matter where they sat, the bumps persisted.
At first, they didn’t think much of the lumps in their new used couch. After all, they had paid only $20 for it so they weren’t expecting it to be super comfortable. Even so, the lumps were making it hard to relax and sit on so they decided to at least try and adjust them by seeing if they could move them around. With that in mind, Reese examined the couch and found a zipper on one of the arms. He unzipped it and immediately found the reason why it was so lumpy; there was an envelope stuffed into the couch!
The envelope had a bunch of bubble wrap inside and upon unwrapping it Reese found himself staring at a wad of cash! He couldn’t believe his eyes but right in front of him were $50 and $100 bills neatly stacked and placed carefully inside the envelope. The roommates began to freak out and naturally started to look and see if there were any more cash filled envelopes in their bargain Salvation Army couch.
They found a couple more bubble wrap envelopes and after they counted all the money out, they were left with a grand total of $41,000. Each of them had plans for what they would do with the money, but their excitement over the lucky windfall didn’t last long. When they came across a bank statement with a woman’s name written on it, they knew the money must have been hers, and now they faced a moral dilemma. Do they keep the money or return it to the rightful owner?
The three chose the latter option and were able to track down the woman thanks to a little help from Reese’s mother. When they called to inform her that they’d found the money the woman rudely demanded that they give it back, which they intended on doing anyways. However, when they arrived at her home to hand it over, an elderly woman answered the door and burst into tears. She was so happy and grateful that they’d found the money and returned it to her.
It turned out that for 30 years she had been stashing her late husband’s savings in the couch. One day she had gone to the hospital to have surgery and that’s when her daughter came over to clean up her house. In the process she threw out the couch, not knowing that her mother’s life savings were inside, and the woman thought that she’d never see the money again. To show her appreciation and to thank them for returning it all, she ended up giving each of the roommates $1000. Now they can buy a more comfortable couch to replace the one they ripped open!

He Poured A Full Cup Of Salt Down The Drain. THIS Reason Is Unexpectedly GENIUS
image via – facebook.com
Salt is a common mineral which can be found all over the Earth, including in practically every kitchen and household in the world. It’s not only vital for our bodily health, it’s also a food staple that has been used to flavor and preserve foods for thousands of years!
Besides that, there are tons of different uses for salt which extend far beyond simply seasoning tasty dishes. Household Hacker, one of the most inventive and ingenious YouTube channels out there, compiled a few of the most useful salt hacks known to man in this video.
These are truly helpful so be sure to check it out because somewhere down the line at least one of them is guaranteed to come in handy! Without further ado, here is a breakdown of everything you need to know that’s covered in the video.
If you ever find that your clothing iron has something sticky or gross and gooey melted onto the bottom of it, try this simple trick to clean it off completely. Set the iron to hot and while it heats up grab a sheet of wax paper and sprinkle on a layer of plain old table salt.
Rub the iron back and forth across the salted wax paper and soon the salt will pick up the residue and cause it to clump, leaving behind a clean iron. Next up is some clever hacks for the kitchen. Eggs can be a real pain to clean up.
If you ever accidentally drop one simply pour salt over the runny mess and wait 10-15 minutes before cleaning it up. The salt will turn the liquid part to gel and when you wipe it up it’ll stay together and won’t drip or run all over, saving you lots of paper towels in the process.
Another cooking oriented salt hack involves dangerous grease fires which cannot, and should not ever, be put out with water. Pouring water on a grease fire simply spreads it and makes it worse. Instead, you want to smother the fire and one of the best ways to put it out is by pouring salt directly onto the flames, thereby cutting off what’s fueling the fire, oxygen, and extinguishing it immediately.
If you have pots and pans that are all dirty with caked, burnt on crud, salt can help clean them up. Coat the bottom of the pan with a layer of salt, add a little water, wait 10 minutes, then wipe away the mess and rinse it off. In similar fashion, salt can also clean grease and burnt crud off of a dirty sponge.
Place 2 cups of water in a small container, dissolve in ¼ cup of salt, submerge the dirty sponge and allow it to soak overnight. The next day all you have to do is remove the sponge, it should be clean and back to being usable.
This next one is my personal favorite salt hack, which I have successfully used on many occasions. It makes cleaning one of the hardest areas of the bathroom to get spotless, aka the stains on tubs and sinks, a breeze.
The method for cleaning them is a little harsh but extremely effective and you’ll need a pair of rubber safety gloves and proper ventilation, so open a window and be cautious handling the solution. Mix together equal parts turpentine and salt, about one cup of each will do, then apply the solution and undissolved salt to a sponge and use it to scrub the stains.
After about a minute you should begin to notice the spots disappearing and when you’re done the bathroom will be shiny and clean. While you’re cleaning the tub, if you have a clogged drain, salt can also help you clear it up.
First, remove as much of the blockage and hair as you can before combining ¼ cup of baking soda with a ¼ cup of salt. Mix it up and pour it down the drain, then pour about a ½ cup of white vinegar down right after, and watch as it fizzles up like a soda pop.
Let this sit for at least 15 minutes while it works its magic and eats away at the clog. Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a steady boil and them pour it directly down the drain to clear out any remaining clog.
Hopefully these inventive salt uses will come in handy and make your life easier. Try them out and see how helpful and inexpensive they really are!

She Drops Hydrogen Peroxide In Her Ears 3x Per Week For a Month. The Reason Is Unexpectedly GENIUS!
image via – shutterstock.com
Hydrogen peroxide is something that most people keep on hand at home. The bottled solution can usually be found in the medicine cabinet or stored under bathroom sinks and lasts for years. While people tend to only use it when they need to clean small cuts or scrapes, there are many other ways it can be utilized that go beyond first-aid.
The health and beauty, cleaning, and disinfecting tips that follow below are resourceful ways to save money and clean up around your house. All you need is the standard 3% hydrogen peroxide concentration, which can be found in any pharmacy or store. Depending on what you wish to do, you may also need a few other basic things, like a spray bottle, baking soda or water. Either way, these are all very simple and effective:
Clean stains on tile or stone counters- In a bowl combine hydrogen peroxide with flour until a thick, pasty consistency is achieved. Apply the paste over the stains so they are completely covered and then place a layer of plastic wrap atop it. Allow it to sit overnight while it works its magic, then remove and clean away the paste. The stains should be gone or vastly improved.
Remove wine stains from carpet- Mix together equal parts hydrogen peroxide and liquid soap. Apply it to the stained area and let it soak in for at least one minute. Using a towel, carefully blot it up while trying your best to avoid rubbing it in, before washing the spot with warm water.
Clean windows- Simply spray peroxide on the glass and wipe it off with a clean cloth. This works for other types of glass beyond windows that you may wish to clean. Clean humidifier- Pour a little bit of peroxide in with the water and run it through as normal. Any mold and bacteria that may have been present in the machine will be killed. Clean shower curtains- If your shower curtain and liner are safe to put in the wash you can treat them prior to washing by spraying hydrogen peroxide on them liberally. It will help to remove any mold, mildew, and soap scum more effectively.
Hydrogen peroxide in ear- To clean your ears and remove wax build up, soak a cotton ball with peroxide. Tilt your head to the side and gently squeeze the cotton ball to apply it into your ear. Wait a few minutes while gravity does the work for you before tilting your head the other way and draining it out.
Clean makeup brushes- In a cup mix equal parts hydrogen peroxide and water together. Place the brushes in the solution for at least five minutes, remove and rinse. Do this weekly to keep your makeup brushes clean and free of bacteria. Disinfect sponges- Soak dirty, smelly sponges or rags in peroxide for 20-30 minutes, then rinse and dry them off. Disinfect cutting boards- Spray on a layer of peroxide and wipe them clean.
Brighten whites- Instead of bleaching white clothing, soak them in hydrogen peroxide for about 30 minutes to remove stains and yellow discolored spots. Wash immediately after soaking and only use this on white clothes because peroxide will remove color!
Toothache relief- Mix equal parts water and hydrogen peroxide before applying it to the infected area. Try your best to hold the solution in place for at least a minute, then rinse your mouth out. This also works for canker sores, simply swish the solution around for a minute or so and then rinse.
Clean and disinfect toothbrushes- Soak the bristle end of the brush in hydrogen peroxide for a few minutes, then rinse it off thoroughly under hot water.
Whiten nails- Mix together peroxide and baking soda into a paste and then cover your nails. Keep it on for three minutes before rinsing nails clean with warm water.
In addition to the above uses, hydrogen peroxide is also an excellent, non-toxic, and cost effective way to get rid of mold. Mold is one of the most stubborn things to effectively remove. The nasty spores can infect and spread rapidly through an otherwise clean home and it thrives in damp, dark, wet places.
Some types of mold are extremely unhealthy, and potentially deadly, to breathe in or be around. The accompanying video shows the best way to deal with mold removal using hydrogen peroxide, so if you’re dealing with the tricky stuff you’ll definitely want to check it out.
Here’s how to do it; Pour some hydrogen peroxide into a spray bottle, apply it directly onto the moldy spots, wait at least 10 minutes, then wipe it off. This should work well on a variety of surfaces, and since it’s an antibacterial and anti-fungal solution it works fast to kill the mold spores.
These lesser known uses for hydrogen peroxide are handy resources to keep in mind because you never know when you may need to use them. Hopefully they will end up saving you time and money now or in the long run!

Can you imagine what it must have been like for a person to live during the 1800’s. They had no air conditioning, antibiotics, x-rays, microwaves, cars, telephones, computers, internet, video games, e-mail or almost any modern technology that we in modern times take for granted. One technology that hasn’t yet been invented, is the time machine which would make it possible for us to travel back in time and experience the 1800’s, the prehistoric eras or even the future. Although the time machine seems impossible and implausible so were all the inventions listed above before the year 1900…

If Your Vehicle Is Sinking Fast Underwater THIS Is What You Have To Do To Live and Survive
image via – facebook.com
For many of us, the thought of being trapped in a sinking car has crossed our minds. What would we do, how would we react, would we be able to make it out alive? That kind of stuff is what nightmares are made of, but for some people that nightmare could one day become a reality.
Think about it, all that it takes is one brief moment. Perhaps you’re driving down the road and become distracted, when you look up it’s too late and you end up crashing into a pond. Or maybe a deer suddenly pops out of nowhere. Without even thinking you instinctively swerve to avoid hitting it and in the process you end up losing control of the car.
If you end up in a lake, river, stream, marsh, or whatever body of water it may be, your car is going to immediately start sinking. Water will rush in and it will quickly begin to fill the interior passenger compartment space up. What do you do?
Many people have no idea what to do if they find themselves in this type of situation. As much as you may have thought about it, when it comes down to it you’re likely panicking and not thinking about what the best course of action is.
The obvious thing you’ll want to do is get out of the car as quickly as you possibly can. To help yourself escape as fast as possible, the first thing you should do is roll down the window while simultaneously taking off your seat belt. Rolling down the window and removing your seat belt is crucial because all that water may cause the computerized electronic equipment in your car to short out or completely malfunction. If that happens, you will likely be unable to roll down electric windows or disengage your safety belt.
Being trapped in a sinking car with the windows up is virtually impossible to escape from. At that point you’d need to break a window to get out. You won’t be able to open the door, even if it is unlocked the sheer pressure from the surrounding water makes it impossible to force open, you’d basically need to have superhuman strength. Only a special tool designed to break car glass windows will work. You can find these online and keep one in your car, but overall the best option is to roll your window down asap!
The next step after getting the window down and your seat belt off is to get out of the car as quickly as you can. Oftentimes people in sinking cars have less than one minute to both react and get out. In addition, if there are any young children in the back seat they will need help getting out from an adult.
They should first be taken out of their car seats and then passed through the front window, but only after it has been rolled down and the adult’s seat belt has been unbuckled. For any passengers in the back seat of a car that has either no operable windows or ones that don’t roll all the way down, they will have to work their way to the front and go out either the driver or passenger side windows. Here are some additional tips:
Never call 911, you will be wasting precious time where you should be escaping and it will be too late by the time help arrives. Don’t panic. You have to react immediately and freezing up will get you killed. Every second counts and the instant you hit the water the clock starts ticking.
Watch this ABC News clip. It will show you exactly what to expect if and when you should ever have to escape from a sinking car. It also offers an inside-view of what a sinking car will look like and the experts take us through a number of scenarios. They show you how to get out from the front drivers seat, from the rear passenger seat, and how to help get little kids out as well.

Porsche Discovered 26 Years After Someone Stole It! But Then Cops Spot Bones On The Grass Next To It!
image via – youtube.com
Late in November of 2017 a man was walking his dog along a rural road in Jackson County Oregon. The dog ended up wandering off the roadway into the dense woods with his owner following close behind when something suddenly caught the man’s eye. Up ahead down a steep embankment lay an overturned vehicle. It was covered in leaves, sticks, and dirt and looked like it had been there for quite some time.
The man called the local police to report the car in the woods and they went out to investigate the wreck. They found the abandoned car at the base of a steep cliff which made it virtually impossible to see for anyone looking down from the road up above.
The car was on its roof and there were bones scattered on the ground nearby. Fearing the worst, investigators examined them closely before breathing a sigh of relief, they were animal bones and most likely that of a deer.
After running the plates on the car the police were astonished when it came back as being reported stolen. The fact that it’d been stolen wasn’t what surprised them, it was how long ago it had occurred. The car was a 1979 Porsche 924 coupe that had been reported stolen over 26 years earlier!
According to records, the Porsche was allegedly stolen on January 20, 1991 from a movie theater parking lot in Medford, Oregon. After that, it was never seen again until the man and his dog stumbled upon it. Further investigation found that the registration tags had also expired in 1991, leading police to believe that it had been crashed, dumped, or abandoned in the woods sometime shortly after being taken.
Despite having the name of the owner listed on the stolen car report from 1991, police were unable to locate them. There was also an issue with figuring out how to get the car out of the woods. Its final resting place was at the bottom of a steep cliff surrounded by dense forest and so there was no easy way to remove it.
Officials did not want to risk causing more damage to the environment and so for now it’s going to stay there until they can figure out the best way to safely remove it.
This isn’t the first time a stolen car reported missing suddenly popped up out of nowhere years later. It has happened more than a few times all over the world and the video covers some very interesting stories about long lost cars finding their way back to their owners.
Check it out for more and if your car ever gets stolen, there is always hope it might be found 26+ years later!
