No not you Avacado123, I am referring to the actual fruit AKA alligator pear. Actually being part of the “Berry Family”, its slimy green flesh is loaded with tons of valuable nutrients. Incorporating avocado into your diet can be advantageous in many ways. Now I wouldn’t eat a whole one everyday, but they really do pack a punch when it comes to nutrition.
The average avocado has 276 calories, 1.5 g of carbs, 27 g of fat ( Mono-unsat), 4 g of fiber, and 1.5 grams of protein. The monounsaturated fat in an avocado speeds up your metabolism where as saturated fat slows it down. Ever eat a quarter pounder with cheese? Feel like a million bucks after that don’t ya’?
Some benefits from eating avocados are:
They reducing cholesterol which aids in lower blood pressure, can help inhibit growth of prostate cancer cells, helps maintain blood sugar levels, can aide in weight loss, good for your eyes and skin, boosts your immune system, heck the list just goes on from there.
I put them on plain tuna, on grilled chicken, on salad, in my protein shake for a super delicious vanilla avocado treat, use them as a spread, hell I even peel and quarter them and eat like a apple.
So c’mon, dig into that sexy green avocado.
