The benefits of eating an avocado are just great. Not only are they filling, but they are also super nutritious! Avocado is the good source of fat that you can eat and not feel guilty about! There are tons of ways to use avocado in an every day meal, and it's not even hard to cut up!
Avocados contain about 20 different vitamins and minerals! The fat content is high (about 15g), BUT there is absolutely NO cholesterol, and very little saturated fat. The majority of fat in an avocado is oleic acid. Oleic acid has some beneficial components to it. It has been shown that oleic acid is linked to reducing inflammation.
They contain a lot of potassium... even more than a banana! Potassium helps support healthy blood pressure levels.
Avocados are loaded with fiber. Fiber can provide many benefits to weight loss. It has also been said that avocado helps you lose weight. Many people who eat avocado in their meals or on it's own, tend to be fuller for longer periods of time, therefore, making a person not hungry for up to 4-5 hours!
There are plenty of nitty gritty facts I can get into, but I just wanted to point out the most important (well, at least in my opinion).
Enjoy those avocados! Make yourself some toast or a breakfast wrap, add it in a salad, put some on your omelette.... include it in your smoothies!!
