Are you a guacamole lover? Well you should be, avocados, the main ingredient in guacamole is actually one of the healthiest fruits you can eat. One of the main benefits of avocados is that they prevent cancer which is the leading cause of deaths worldwide. The extracts in the avocado actually kill precancerous cells because of the vitamin E. Other benefits that avocados help with are human vision. They actually have antioxidants that can be found in the human retina which keep your eyes young and healthy. They are rich in healthy fats, which is not to easy to come across in foods, and for that reason nutrients are absorbed quicker and easier. One of the main nutrients lycopene, helps prevent heart disease and prostate cancer.
Other than containing such healthy fats, avocados also have more fiber and proteins in them than most fruits. Fiber is an essential ingredient in foods because it actually slows down digestion so food isn't turned into fat right away. So yes, in short, fruits high in fiber will not make you gain weight even with all the sugar they have! Avocados also contain lots of B vitamins which help with energy as well as vitamins E and K which help with overall strong bones. If this doesn’t make you want to grab an avocado for lunch I don’t know what will!
Want a delicious meal with avocados in it, stop by La Bottega of Farmingdale, a traditional gourmet restaurant in Farmingdale for some gluten-free avocado salads, or a grilled chicken avocado salad. We also have a delicious dish called gluten-free tacchino e avocado salad, which has roasted turkey, mixed greens, shredded mozzarella, tomatoes, avocados, sauteed mushrooms, and roasted hot peppers. Get avocados in your diet if you want to stay lean, healthy, and limit the risks of cancer and other health risks.
