3 Factual Health Benefits of Eating Avocados

in #gallerani6 years ago


Every low-carb dieter knows their way around an avocado. They're high in fat and fiber, they're micronutrient-rich, they're versatile in dishes and they're absolutely delicious!!

A lot of popular magazines like to label this food or that a so-called "superfood" even though they don't have much empirical evidence of those foods actually having any truly healthy qualities.

As you'll find out with these 3 tips, avocados should be a part of every healthy persons daily diet, even if you aren't on a ketogenic diet!


1. Better Heart Health

People used to think of fat as being absolutely awful for your health and especially your heart, but research has now proven that monounsaturated fat - the type of fat that's in avocados - is actually good for your heart health.

Eating a diet that is rich in this type of fat and low in carbs is beneficial for your hearth health -- according to the science.

The acid in avocados has also been shown to be cancer-preventing and it's even evident in Avocado Oil at high temperatures.


2. Skin and Hair Health

Looking good is always a part of feeling good and avocados have no rarity when it comes to beautifying oneself.

You may recall a time when you've seen/used avocado face masks. They're a hugely popular beauty technique for a reason - avocados are high in antioxidants and have an effect that promotes healthy skin and hair.


3. Weight Loss

Research has also disproven the old myth about low-fat diets being healthier and better for losing weight comparative to high-fat, low-carb diets.

Diets rich in fat and low-carb (like keto) paired with amazing sources of fat like Avocados, Avocado Oil, Olive Oil, etc. have been proven to boost weight loss, increase muscle retention and increase overall health, including heart health.


I've been doing the keto diet for years now. I cycle through it - kind of like how the earth cycles through seasons ;)
