Problem: How to prune an avocado tree

- You could also use specialty hand pruners made specifically for avocado trees, which have rounded tips to keep from damaging any of the fruit. Choose loppers to cut any branches thicker than 1 inch (2.5 cm).
- One major disadvantage of hand pruners is that they tend to crowd out branches that are narrower or crooked in appearance. Use pruners for tips on stems.

Problem: How to choose foods to improve digestion
Eat more fiber.
One of the best ingredients in food that will help with digestion is fiber. If you are running from a low level of fiber, start slowly. OPTIONS:
- Start by increasing your daily intake of fiber by about 10% every week until you hit the recommended goal. This is 25 to 38 grams (0.88 to 1.3 oz) of fiber a day, depending on your age and gender.
- Eat some of the following food groups every day to lower the intake of fiber, slowly increasing the amount or frequency of fiber: fruits, vegetables, grains, oats, nuts, or (sometimes) a combination of foods. Beans, brown rice, beans, soybeans, and wheat are all great source of fiber, particularly compared to refined grains.
- Then you can work up to adding up how much fiber you are consuming as a small percentage of that fiber can be absorbed in food. Try eating low fiber versions of whole grains, leafy vegetables, or fresh fruit.
- You'll find that the lower-carb and sugar content of fruits and vegetables, the longer they last. The average amount of fiber is measured in milligrams/grams.
