Avocado
Avocado is a fruit that contains healthy fats, protein, vitamin K, folate, vitamin C, potassium, vitamin B5 and vitamin E. As you already know, avocados don’t contain cholesterol and have more potassium than a banana.Â
According to Alicia Galvin, RD, a resident dietitian for Sovereign Laboratories, avocadoes can be “excellent sources of fiber, vitamin K and potassium. Numerous studies have looked at the relationship between avocado consumption and blood fat levels, types of fat in the bloodstream, inflammatory risk in the cardiovascular system, and the degree of cardiovascular protection against damage.”
“The low-fat craze created a global obesity crisis as entire countries shifted dietary recommendations to promote low-fat, high-sugar, high-refined-carb foods,” Axe added. “Studies show this can lead to a host of health problems, including concentration issues and heart trouble.”Â
According to a recent study that looked at about 17,000 Americans, people who eat avocados regularly tend to be healthier.Â
