The planet's sexiest fruit

Let's talk avocados. A sexy fruit? Yes, says RealAge, when you consider that the fruit gets its name from the word ahuacatl. That's Aztec for testicle, which it apparently resembles (I guess, maybe). Because of its shape, the Aztecs thought it a powerful aphrodisiac. Maybe it is, I don't know. I do know it's a highly nutritious fruit, though.

The avocado is one of nature's most perfect foods. Filled to the brim with vitamins E, C, fiber, some protein, and healthy fats, this sexy food, like oatmeal, is also good for the skin and is starting to show up in skin care products. It seems the antioxidants found in avocados help protect skin from aging and damage from the sun, smoke, and pollution. Avocados also moisturize.

Eat your avocados (check out this recipe) or put them on your skin (try this rejuvenating skin mask). Either way, you'll be nourishing your body.
