The addiction you feel for an actual person is nothing compared to what you feel when you have found the perfect avo.<br \/>\nThat beautiful green skin, that velvety smooth texture, and that melt-in-your mouth creaminess and buttery flavour that gets your pulse racing. Now you know why the Aztecs claimed avos as aphrodisiacs.<br \/>\nYou simply can\u2019t imagine a meal without an avo, and must add an avo right now, chopped, sliced, diced or smashed, to cure this love sickness.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>You celebrate their successes<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>It\u2019s true, when the love bug bites, you don\u2019t care if the object of your affection is better than you at something. You celebrate their wins with pride, even if you yourself have failed.<br \/>\nThis is the same pride that wells up inside you when you walk into an esteemed eatery and find avocado on the menu. Not just a little saucy something on the side, but complete dishes prepared by professional chefs who too have been seduced by the virtues of the avo.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>You miss them when you\u2019re apart<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>How much you miss someone when they\u2019re away from you is an actual indication of just how much you care for them, and how entwined your lives have become.<br \/>\nHaving to live a few months of the year without your beloved avos, when local avos are not in season and therefore not as readily available, is absolute torture. Luckily from March to October you can eat South African avos to your heart\u2019s desire.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>You are a different person<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>When falling in love, your whole sense of self changes. You take on new characteristics and become a different person to the one you were before you fell in love.<br \/>\nCommitting to a deep relationship with avos brings about subtle changes in your body. Aside from the blush of pleasure you feel every time you eat one, avos are a source of potassium, and their high monounsaturated fat content helps to reduce blood cholesterol levels and lower the risk for heart disease (when used to replace saturated and trans fats).<\/p>\n<h5><strong>You get a little jealous<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>When hopelessly in love, a certain amount of jealousy can be healthy. Evolutionally speaking, jealously helps alert you to potential threats to the relationship.<br \/>\nWhen it comes to your relationship with avos, this will probably see you making a beeline for the salad at the family braai to steal the avo off the top before anyone else can take it, and other equally self-serving behaviour.<br \/>\nBut rest assured, this is completely natural when you\u2019re blinded by the love of avo. So go on, add an avo to your Valentine\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2022 Information supplied by www.avocado.co.za.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Navigating this month of love can be overwhelming, which is why we\u2019ve put together a handy guide to help you manage the complex emotions you might feel on discovering you have found true love.
