Health Benefits of Avocado

Avocado is nutrient-packed with antioxidants and fibers for proper digestion. It contains potassium and oleic acid (a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid with anti-inflammatory properties) that improves cardiovascular health.

Here are the other health benefits of avocado:

  • Great for Vision: Because avocado contains phytochemicals, like lutein and zeaxanthin, they provide eye protection to minimize UV damage. Also, avocado has monounsaturated fatty acids, like beta-carotene, that support beneficial fat-soluble antioxidant absorption.
  • Prevent Osteoporosis: Avocado provides a quarter of your Vitamin K daily recommended intake, which is important for bone health by increasing calcium absorption.
  • Prevent Cancer: Adequate folate intake from avocado and other dietary sources shows promising protection of the body against different types of cancer, such as colon, pancreatic, stomach, and cervical cancers.

Though of course this doesn’t mean that you can eat nothing but avocado chocolates and ice creams and pies without any negative repercussions of weight gain, it is a much healthier alternative to the other options that fill the stores and lead us astray. You should be able to relax when you’re indulging your sweet tooth, not worrying that what you’re consuming is harmful to your body. So, cut out the fear and pick up one of these awesome, healthy sweet treats. You don’t have to eat crap to enjoy your food.
