AMAZING HEALTH BENEFITS OF AVOCADO

Surprising health benefits of avocado They lowers cholesterol and fights anemia. Although they are rich in fats, these fats are of high biological value and are primarily unsaturated. Of course, they contain no cholesterol, as is the case with all plant-based foods. It is also rich in plant proteins and fibers; it contains all the essential amino acids.
Avocado is the richest fresh fruit in vitamin E. No animal¬-based food approaches this amount, not even eggs or butter. Among plant foods, oil-bearing nuts, wheat germ, and olives however contain more vitamin E than avocado. This vitamin E is so important not only because it promotes reproductive functions (has aphrodisiac and fertility properties), but because it is a powerful antioxidant protecting against cancer and cellular aging. Avocado is also rich in vitamin B6, iron, and fibers; low in sodium but high in potassium. Regular intake of Avocado reduces the cholesterol level of the body; this is why it is recommended in cases of hypertension, arteriosclerosis, and coronary heart diseases in general. Many people have come to use avocados in the place of butter (and other trans fats). This is a healthy and highly recommended practice, and I advise you to do the same always.
