HEALTH BENEFITS WLL BE HUGE ACPECT
These days, the avocado has become an incredibly popular food among health conscious individuals. It is often referred to as a superfood… which is not surprising given its health properties
Avocado is Loaded With Heart-Healthy Monounsaturated Fatty Acids
Again, avocado a high fat food.
In fact, 77% of the calories in it are from fat, making it one of the fattiest plant foods in existence.
But they don’t just contain any fat… the majority of the fat in avocado is isoleic acid.
This is a monounsaturated fatty acid that is also the major component in olive oil and believed to be responsible for some of its beneficial effects.
Oleic acid has been linked to reduced inflammation and been shown to have beneficial effects on genes linked to cancer
The fats in avocado are also pretty resistant to heat-induced oxidation, making avocado oil a healthy and safe choice for cooking.
Bottom Line: Avocados and avocado oil are high in monounsaturated oleic acid, a “heart healthy” fatty acid that is believed to be one of the main reasons for the health benefits of olive oil.
Heart-healthy nutrients
Not only are avocados packed with healthy fats, they also contain other nutrients for heart health:
• Plant sterols help reduce cholesterol re-absorption in the intestine, increasing the amount of cholesterol excreted from the body.5 Certain margarine spreads, milks and other foods can have added plant sterols. Avocados also contain small quantities of plant sterols – around 50mg in a quarter of an avocado.
• Soluble fibre can lower cholesterol re-absorption from the intestine – in a similar way to plant sterols.10 About two-thirds of the fibre in avocados is soluble fibre. Like all plant foods, avocados are a source of fibre, with around 2g per 50g serve or nearly 10% of the recommended dietary intake for adults. Fibre is needed to maintain a healthy bowel function but can also help fill you up, controlling your appetite for longer.10
• Avocados are low in sodium and contain potassium. Reducing sodium and an adequate intake of potassium can help to guard against high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke.
