8 Important Health benefits of Avocado

August 3,2022
Share:

Avocados are exceptionally nutritious fruits and are a concentrated source of healthy fats and fiber, plus several vitamins and minerals.

Health benefits of Avocado

1. Avocados are a source of vitamins C, E, K, and B6, as well as high levels of healthy, beneficial fats, which can help a person feel fuller between meals. Eating fat slows the breakdown of carbohydrates, which helps keep blood sugar levels stable.

2. In every 100 g of avocado, there are 76 milligrams of a natural plant sterol called beta-sitosterol. Regularly consuming beta-sitosterol and other plant sterols may help maintain healthy cholesterol levels, which are important for heart health.

3. Avocados contain lutein and zeaxanthin, two phytochemicals present in eye tissue. They provide antioxidant protection to help minimize damage, including from UV light.

4. Half an avocado provides approximately 18% of the daily value of vitamin K. This nutrient is often overlooked but is essential for bone health. Taking in enough vitamin K can support bone health by increasing calcium absorption and reducing the urinary excretion of calcium.

5. Avocados also contain high levels of phytochemicals and carotenoids, which may have anticancer properties. have shown that carotenoids, specifically, may protect against cancer progression.

6. Avocados are a good source of folate which plays an important role in overall dietary health. Folate is important for a healthy pregnancy. Adequate intake reduces the risk of miscarriage and neural tube abnormalities. 

7. Avocados are high in fiber, containing approximately 6–7 g per half fruit. Eating foods with natural fiber can help prevent constipation, maintain digestive tract health, and lower the risk of colon cancer.

8. Avocados are high in fat and calories. So if excess weight is a concern, you may want to create some limits on how much you eat. A small amount can go a long way.
