Health Benefits of Avocado

Did you know that avocados contain more potassium than a banana?!

They’re also a great source of heart-healthy folate.

And these jewels can even help lower cholesterol due to their oleic acid – a cholesterol-lowering nutrient.

Wonderful avocados are also a good source of vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin B6, vitamin E, riboflavin, niacin, magnesium, potassium, copper, manganese, and omega-3 fatty acids – all of which contribute to good health and help fight disease.

Are Avocados Fattening?

Avocados are high in fat, but the fat in avocados is very different from the fat in oil and other fattening foods. Whole foods like avocados contain natural fats that are very beneficial for our health. Because these natural fats come naturally-packaged with an abundance of fiber, phytochemicals, vitamins, and minerals, our body can use those fats to nourish us. And avocados can be a healthy part of a weight loss program.

On the other hand, fat that that is extracted from whole foods, like the fat found in oil, is the fat that causes health problems and weight gain. Because the fat is removed from the whole food it originally came from, it contributes to poor health and obesity.

In addition, each and every avocado offers you 9 grams of fiber and a plethora of other fat-fighting nutrients.

Avocados make a perfectly slimming and healthy replacement for fattening mayonnaise, cheese slices, or butter in sandwiches or on bread.

Is avocado spread healthier than butter?

Absolutely! Avocado spread has fewer calories, more fiber, and more nutrients than butter.

Is avocado spread better than mayo?

Avocado spread is way healthier than mayo! It offers you an far more nutrition for fewer calories. Plus, this healthy avocado spread is made with simple, whole-food ingredients and avoids all the objectionable ingredients that even the healthiest of mayonnaise contains.
