Blessed Avocado
This delicious nut-fruit offers more beneficial properties than the delicious buttery – creamy sensation in your mouth!
It is well known that Avocado is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and to the surprise of many, it contains nearly 20 vitamins and minerals.
So, I will tell you some reasons why you should eat Avocado…
For Heart Health
Avocado contains a natural sterol called beta-sitosterol that might help maintain cholesterol levels.
Great for Vision
Phytonutrients, Lutein and Zeaxanthin, present in avocado are eye nutrients that provide antioxidant protection to minimize damage in our eyes, including UV light damage.
Strong Bones
Half of an avocado provides approximately 25% of daily recommended intake of Vitamin K, which is essential for bone health by increasing calcium absorption.
Happy Digestion
Avocado is high in fiber and might help prevent constipation, maintain healthy digestive tract and lower risk of colon cancer.
Don’t panic for the fat content in avocado, it is full of healthy good fats that keep you full and satiated.
Enjoy Avocado in salads, smoothies, spread on bread, guacamole, or eat them alone… DELICIOUS!!!
