I Love Avocados
because they are tasty and healthy!
Avocados are nutritionally rich. They are an excellent source of
monounsaturated fat and vitamin E, and are a good source of folate. They
also supply more soluble fibre than other fruit and contain a number of
useful minerals including iron, copper and potassium. Avocados are high
in fat with 60 per cent of this being monounsaturated fats, which
research suggests helps to protect against heart disease and lower blood
pressure.
They are also an excellent source of potassium, folate and fibre, all of
which benefit the heart and cardiovascular system. The oils supplied by
avocado include oleic acid and linoleic acid, these unsaturated fats are
recommended as part of a balanced diet to help manage cholesterol.
