Health Benefits of Avocados
Avocados are a heart-healthy food and are 100% cholesterol-free. This fruit (yes, a lot of people think they are a vegetable!) contains nearly 20 different vitamins and minerals and are packed with disease-fighting antioxidants. Avocados are also full of fiber which helps you feel full.
Studies have shown that avocados contribute to feelings of satiety which can delay the feeling of hunger. This is due to their fat content; Rounding out to roughly 22 grams of fat per avocado, you’ll be pleased to know that their fat is mostly from monosaturated fatty acids-a heart-healthy alternative.
