Anshu's Avocado of The Month Club is a perfect gift for any
occasion.
Avocado is green; pear-shaped
fruit often called an “alligator pear.” It is loaded with healthy fats, fiber,
and various important nutrients. Potassium is an important mineral that most
people don't get enough of. Avocados are very high in potassium, which should
support healthy blood pressure levels. Avocados and avocado oil are high in
monounsaturated oleic acid, a "heart healthy" fatty acid that is
believed to be one of the main reasons for the health benefits of olive oil.
Avocados tend to be high in fiber, about 7% by weight, which is very high
compared to most other foods. Fiber can have various important benefits for
weight loss and metabolic health. Numerous studies have shown that eating
avocado can improve heart disease risk factors like Total, LDL and HDL cholesterol,
as well as blood triglycerides. One dietary survey found that people who ate
avocados had a much higher nutrient intake and had a lower risk of metabolic
syndrome. Studies have shown that eating avocado or avocado oil with veggies
can dramatically increase the number of
antioxidants you take in. Avocados are high in antioxidants, including Lutein
and Zeaxanthin. These nutrients are very important for eye health and lower the
risk of macular degeneration and cataracts. Some studies in isolated cells have
shown that nutrients in avocados may have benefits in preventing prostate cancer and lowering side effects of
chemotherapy in some cells. Studies have shown that an extract from avocado and
soybean oils can significantly reduce symptoms of osteoarthritis. Avocados are
also high in fiber, and very low in carbs, two attributes that should also help
promote weight loss, at least in the context of a healthy, real food based
diet.
