Avocados

I have never met anybody who doesn’t like avocados. Some people call avocados the perfect food. That may be an overstatement, but the truth is that you can’t go wrong with an avocado when you plan a meal.

Avocados are one of the few fruits that can be eaten as part of a vegetable salad. In fact, some people regard avocados as a salad vegetable even though they are technically fruits. They also go by the exotic name of alligator pear, but I don’t think this name is very popular.

You should know that avocados are one of the healthiest fruits you can eat because they contain most of the nutrients your body needs to function properly. Here is a list of the nutrients you can find in an avocado:

1.     Avocados contain some protein.

2.     They are loaded with good monounsaturated fats.

3.     They are full of antioxidants.

4.     They contain important vitamins.

5.     They are a good source of minerals.

6.     They contain some phytosterols.

7.     They contain some fiber and water.

 As you can imagine, the presence of so many important nutrients in an avocado give it a wide range of health benefits. This is a list of some of most common health benefits you can derive from eating avocados:

1.     Avocados help prevent nutritional deficiencies.

2.     They help prevent cardiovascular disease.

3.     Avocados are good for your eyes and skin.

4.     They help your digestive system.

5.     Avocados can help improve your sex life.

 Finally, avocados are very clean when it comes to pesticide residues. They are among the safest foods to eat.  However, avocados should be bought from a reliable vendor since their quality may not be what you expect when you cut them open, so you should make sure you get them from stores where you have been consistently satisfied with their quality.
