Avocados are incredibly nutritious and versatile, and apart from their creamy and tasty flavor, they improve overall health in various ways.

Megan Ware RDN LD, claims:

“According to the USDA National Nutrient Database, one serving (one-fifth of an avocado, approximately 40 grams) contains:

64 calories
almost 6 grams of fat
3.4 grams of carbohydrate
less than a gram of sugar
almost 3 grams of fiber

Avocados are a great source of vitamins C, E, K, and B-6, as well as riboflavin, niacin, folate, pantothenic acid, magnesium, and potassium. They also provide lutein, beta-carotene, and omega-3 fatty acids.

Avocados are full of healthy, beneficial fats that help to keep you full and satiated. When you consume fat, your brain receives a signal to turn off your appetite. Eating fat slows the breakdown of carbohydrates, which helps to keep sugar levels in the blood stable.

Fat is essential for every single cell in the body. Eating healthy fats supports skin health, enhances the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, and may even help boost the immune system.”

4. Blood Pressure

5. Bone Health

The high vitamin K levels of avocados which is essential for bone health as it improves the absorption of calcium.

6. Eye Health
