The Health benefits of Avocado are:

AVOCADOS ARE NITRIENT RICH

Avocados are rich in vitamins and minerals as well as riboflavin, niacin, folate, pantothenic acid, magnesium, and potassium. They also provide lutein, beta-carotene, and omega-3 fatty acids. Although most of the calories in an avocado come from fat that help to keep you full and satiated. Eating fat slows the breakdown of carbohydrates, which helps to keep sugar levels in the blood stable.

HEALTHY FOR THE HEART

Avocados contain 25 milligrams per ounce of a natural plant sterol called beta-sitosterol. Regular consumption of beta-sitosterol and other plant sterols has been seen to help maintain healthy cholesterol levels.

GREAT FOR VISSION

Avocados contain two phytochemicals(lutein and zeaxanthin) that are concentrated in the tissues in the eyes where they provide antioxidant protection to help minimize damage, including from ultraviolet light.

CANCER

Adequate intake of folate from food has shown promise in protecting against cervical Cancer. Avocados may even have a role to play in cancer treatment, with some research finding that phytochemicals extracted from avocado can selectively inhibit the growth of precancerous and cancerous cells and cause the death of cancer cells, while encouraging the proliferation of immune system cells called lymphocytes.

IMPROVED DIGESTION

Because Avocado is actually high in fiber with approximately 6-7 grams per half fruit.
Eating foods with natural fiber can help prevent constipation, maintain a healthy digestive tract, and lower the risk of colon cancer.

NATURAL DETOXIFICATION

As earlier said, adequate fiber promotes regular bowel movements, which are crucial for the daily excretion of toxins through the bile and stool. Recent studies have shown that dietary fiber may also play a role in regulating the immune system and inflammation.

LOWER RISK OF DEPRESSION

Foods containing high levels of folate may help to decrease the risk of depression because folate helps to prevent the build-up of homocysteine, a substance that can impair circulation and delivery of nutrients to the brain. However, excess homocysteine can also interfere with the production of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, which regulate mood, sleep, and appetite.
