Benefits of eating avocado

Most fruits are high in fructose. Although they are good for us and have benefits such as vitamins and antioxidants, we should limit the amount of fruit we are consuming. Yes, avocados are fruit but they are low in fructose and high in monounsaturated fat, which is a healthy fat!  Do we want to eat good fat? Yes, we do! A healthy diet that helps us lose weight or maintain a healthy weight is a diet rich in healthy fat, fiber, and protein, an avocado provides us with all three! Let’s look at some more of the amazing benefits of eating avocados!

Avocados are full of nutrients that are essential to keeping our bodies healthy!

They are rich in vitamin C, K, and more potassium than a banana. They also contain folate, B6, vitamin E, niacin, magnesium and more!

This amazing little green fruit can improve heart health and eye skin and hair health! Like I mentioned above they are packed with fiber to help maintain a healthy weight or aid in weight loss. The B vitamins in avocado help improve digestion. They also contain fatty acids that help to balance hormones naturally to help boost mood.

Making an avocado toast is quick and simple and is worth the time for all the benefits! Avocado toast is versatile and can be made just the way you like it!

Make sure when you are buying avocados that they are slightly soft when you press on them. Too soft (and more black in color) may result in a brown, overripe avocado. If you happen to buy them under-ripe, just place them near some bananas in a paper bag to help them ripen more quickly. Avocados are not something that needs to be bought organic because of their thick skin!
