Smart Tips:
Children love sushi. Tuna fish in mineral water and avocado is an interesting treat. Avocado is rich in fat but it is an unsaturated fat and will not raise the blood cholesterol. Beside, there is also plenty of vitamin A and potassium in avocado and an appropriate amount is good for health.
