Today, you will learn about the benefits of this incredible fruit.
Seen in the past as a villain of our diets, today, avocado is a hero.
Source of good fats and calories, this fruit acts as a natural medicine in our bodies.
The benefits of avocados go from protecting us against some types of cancer to lending
shine to the hair.
But, although it offers all these benefits, avocado should still be eaten in moderation.
You can eat a moderate amount of avocado without any guilt and enjoy all the nutritional advantages
of this food.
See 7 benefits of eating avocados:
Helps with weight loss and prevents constipation As you have seen in the title, avocado helps
with weight loss because it is rich in fiber that make us feel satiated.
It causes a natural reduction of appetite and, thus, a natural weight loss.
But you have to be careful: when eaten in excess, avocado actually makes you gain weight
since it has a lot of fat and calories.
Contributes to a beautiful and moisturized skin
Avocado helps prevent stretch marks, wrinkles, and cellulite because of its vitamin C, which
helps in the metabolism of collagen, the substance that gives the skin its firmness.
Also, avocado has antioxidants that help protect and prevent the aging of skin cells.
That makes our skin more elastic and with a younger and healthier appearance.
Keeps the muscles strong When eaten before physical activities, avocado
helps with muscle hypertrophy since it gives enough energy for the workout and contains
proteins that help with muscle recovery.
Avocado is also good to avoid muscle fatigue, as it fights the free radicals that come with
intense workouts and that cause pain and the aging of cells.
Prevents heart diseases and cancer Thanks to the monounsaturated fatty acids
and soluble fibers, avocado aids in the control and prevention of heart diseases.
It controls the LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) and increases the HDL cholesterol levels (good
cholesterol), as well as reducing the triglycerides levels.
Also, because it is one of the best sources of glutathione, avocado offers protection
against oral and throat cancer.

function by stimulating blood circulation and also increases concentration, which, in
turn, contributes to better memory.
Good for pregnant women Avocado is important in the prevention of
congenital diseases, such as issues in the nervous system and spina bifida – the incomplete
closing of the fetus' spine.
Pregnant women, or women who are planning a pregnancy, should consume avocado before
getting pregnant and during the first trimester of pregnancy.
How to eat it: Avocado is very versatile and can be used
in savory and sweet recipes.
An easy way of eating avocados is mashing the fruit with some sugar and lemon or adding
it to a smoothie with some milk and sugar.
From Mexican cuisine comes avocado's probably most famous version: guacamole, an avocado
purée seasoned with lemon, salt, and olive oil and eaten with nachos.
You can add the fruit to salads and toasts.
If you like cooking, you can try making an avocado mayonnaise!
