2. Avocados are a creamy, buttery fruit grown in warm climates and
often enjoyed in Mexican and South American cuisine. Avocados
are packed with disease-fighting antioxidants. If you would like to
lose weight, improve your skin and lower your risk of many life-
threatening diseases, here’s why it’s worth eating more of this
extremely healthy fruit.
Avocados are very high in omega 3 fatty acids, the good kind of
fat, in the form of alpha-linolenic acid. Avocados contain many
essential vitamins and minerals. Flores said that they are a good
source of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), vitamin K and fiber,
which aids digestion and helps maintain regularity.
Additionally, avocados are high in magnesium, phosphorus, iron
and potassium, containing even more potassium per gram than
bananas.
There are some amazing avocado benefits for your health.

3. The most frequent symptoms of undiagnosed diabetes consist of a
sudden and large increase in thirst and hunger and much more
frequent urinating. A dry mouth, significant unexplained weight
loss, vision problems and leg pain are also common symptoms. If
you are experiencing any of these issues then please see your
doctor for a simple diabetes test.
For those already living with diabetes, the oleic acid in avocado is
especially recommended for its ability to lower bad LDL
cholesterol while raising the good HDL cholesterol. Keeping
cholesterol levels in check is vital for diabetics as they have a much
higher risk of cardiovascular disease.

4. Low levels of folate have been exposed to enhance the risk
of breast cancer in women. Sufficient intake of dietary folate
from food, not necessarily supplements has also shown promise
in protecting against colon, stomach, pancreatic and
cervical cancers.
Even though the mechanism of protection is currently
unknown, researchers believe that folate's protective effects
have something to do with its role in DNA and RNA production
and the prevention of unwanted mutations. One-half of an
avocado provides approximately 20% of the daily-
recommended intake for folate.

5. There is some evidence that avocados are a weight loss friendly
food. The people eating the avocado felt 23% more satisfied and
had a 28% lower desire to eat over the next 5 hours.
If this holds true in the long-term, then including avocados in your
diet could help you naturally eat fewer calories and have an easier
time sticking to a healthy diet.
Avocados are also high in fiber, and very low in carbs, two
attributes that should also help promote weight loss, at least in the
context of a healthy, real food based diet.

6. The monounsaturated fats in avocado are also beneficial for
improving your skin tone. They are vital for maintaining good
moisture levels in the epidermal layer of your skin that make it
look and feel soft and healthy. Omega-9 fats can additionally
help reduce skin redness and irritation and are involved in
repairing damaged skin cells.
Avocado benefits also include protecting your skin from
wrinkles and other visible signs of aging with its antioxidant
carotenoids, vitamin E which helps guard against photo-aging
from sun exposure and vitamin C which is involved in the
creation of elastin and collagen for maintaining your skin’s
elasticity and firmness.

7. Avocados are a great source of lutein, a carotenoid that works as
an antioxidant and helps to protect in opposition to eye disease.
They as well contain the related carotenoids zeaxanthin, alpha-
carotene and beta-carotene, as well as tocopherol which contains
vitamin E.
But avocados are not just a rich source of carotenoids by
themselves they also help you out to get more of these nutrients
from other foods.
Carotenoids are lipophilic which is soluble in fat, not water, so
eating carotenoid-packed foods like fruits and vegetables along
with monounsaturated-fat-rich avocados helps your body absorb
the carotenoids. An easy way to do this is to add sliced avocado
to a mixed salad.
