THE HEALTHY BENEFITS OF AVOCADOS

Avocados contain many health benefits - here are just a few:
 

Weight-control - Avocados contain healthy fats (monosaturated) which are considered to be fat burning fats. They help maintain insulin levels which regulate the metabolism and provide the body with usable energy. They make the perfect pre-workout snack. Avocados contain just the right amount of carbohydrates, protein, and fiber, which is proven to keep you fuller, longer. Just one cup of avocado provides about 7-8 grams of dietary fiber. This also helps regulate blood sugar.

 

Protection against Cardiovascular Disease - Avocados have both monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat and contain potassium, helping you meet the recommended American Heart Association (AHA) dietary guidelines.

 

Lower Cholesterol levels - Because avocados contain healthy fats (monostaturated) this Super Food aides in lowering the LDL levels (bad cholesterol) while raising the amount of HDL (good cholesterol) in your body
