Special Talking Flipbook for the kids!!

Avocados are prized for their creamy texture and rich flavor, making them a popular addition to daily meals.

 

Offering heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber, potassium, vitamin K, and antioxidants, avocados are packed with nutrition.

 

Regular enjoyment may help lower LDL cholesterol, regulate blood sugar, support weight management, and protect eye health thanks to nutrients like lutein and zeaxanthin.

 

Moderation remains important, especially for individuals with health concerns like kidney issues where potassium must be limited.

 

Most people can safely enjoy half to one avocado per day as part of a balanced diet.

 

Avocados are versatile, easy to add to salads, sandwiches, or smoothies for both nutritional value and flavor.

 

Incorporating avocados thoughtfully can be a smart and delicious step toward better health.

Rochester, NH residents looking for a healthier burger twist can find a standout option in bison meat.

 

This lean alternative is packed with less cholesterol, fewer calories, and reduced saturated fat compared to typical beef, supporting heart health while delivering robust flavor.

 

Bison is also a rich source of vitamin B12, iron, zinc, and selenium — all crucial for boosting energy and strengthening the immune system.

 

Because it’s so lean, experts recommend cooking bison slowly over medium heat to keep it juicy and tender.

 

Local burger spots like Wild Willy’s Burgers wow diners with choices such as the creative Smitty Burger, while Revolution Taproom & Grill features a broad burger menu for all tastes.

 

For home cooks, sourcing quality bison from specialty shops helps combine health benefits with bold, delicious flavor.

 

Rochester’s scene makes trying healthier burger fare delightfully easy.
