Avi's are so delicious, I don't even need to sell you on the health benefits. I eat a small avocado almost every single day. 

For those of you who are worried about that fat content (I once was too), let me explain. Fats accounts for around three quarters of the calorie account for an avocado. Most of it is monounsaturated fat in the form of oleic acid. It's a GOOD FAT! It reduces the level of bad cholesterol in your blood, and lowers your risk of stroke and heart disease.. 

Health Benefits of Avi's

  • Avocados contain in excess of 25 essential nutrients! This includes Vitamin A, C, E, & K, copper, iron, phosporus, magnesium, and potassium.
  • Avocados contain vitamin B6 and folic acid, Vitamin E, gluthione, and monounsaturated fat.
  • Avocados are rich in a compound called beta-sitosterol, and they are a great source of potassium.
  • Avocados are rich in folate (A B Vitamin), and contain powerful antioxidants.
  • Avocados contain fiber, protein, and beneficial phytochemicals that have been shown to protect against various disease and illness.

  2. Lower your cholesterol
  3. Control your blood pressure
  4. Reduce the risk of inflammatory and degenerative disorders.
