Avocados provide nearly 20 essential nutrients, including fiber, potassium, Vitamin E, B-vitamins and folic acid. They also act as a “nutrient booster” by enabling the body to absorb more fat-soluble nutrients, such as alpha and beta-carotene and lutein, in foods that are eaten with the fruit.

Mothballs are used to kill moths, eggs, larvae and should be kept in an air tight container in order to ensure no harmful vapors are released into your home. If you store clothes in mothballs make sure to wash them before wearing and avoid contact with mothballs on your skin.
