Hi there! Today, I wanna talk about my fave. Just to give you some reminders of what avocados are good for:

  1. Avocados are rich in anti-inflammatory properties, which help relieve arthritis pain.

  2. They are a source of omega-3 fatty acids, which help lubricate joints and further relieve joint pains.

  3. The fats of this fruit are unique. They include phytosterols, plant hormones that help keep inflammation under control

  4. Avocados are good source of potassium and are low in sodium, which helps keep your blood pressure stable.

  5. They are a rich source of antioxidants and monounsaturated fats which help keep the heart healthy and reduce the risk of stroke.

  6. Eating avocado can also regulate LDL and HDL cholesterol levels, as well as blood triglycerides.

  7. Avocados are loaded with beta-carotene and antioxidants which are beneficial for eyes.

  8. They also contain lutein and zeaxanthin; both of these nutrients help maintain good eyesight, night vision and minimize damage from ultraviolet light.

  9. Its high amount of vitamin A also helps reduce the risk of macular degeneration that develops with old age.

  10. Pregnant women must include avocados in their diet as folate helps healthy fetal development.

  11. Several studies have also claimed that folate decreases the risk of depression.

  12. Folate prevents the build-up of homocysteine, a substance that tends to hamper circulation and the delivery path of nutrients to brain.

  13. Avocados are loaded with fibers that may help prevent constipation, boost digestion and colon health.

  14. They are rich in vitamin K, B5, B6, B3, E and C.

  15. They are also dense in potassium, folate, magnesium, manganese, copper, iron, zinc and phosphorous.

  16. Avocados are very low on carbs, promoting weight loss.


Mindfully,
