Forget forbidden fruits. Avocados shouldn’t be off limits in your quest for optimal health, wellness and weight loss. Avocados are a great source of vital vitamins and minerals.
Half a medium avocado (about four ounces) provides a whopping 500 milligrams of potassium, more than 1/3 of the RDA for folate (folic acid), 10% or more of the RDA for iron, magnesium, betacarotene, Vitamins C, Vitamin E, and B-6. Listen to this pregnant moms; avocados contain more folate than any other fruit.
But that’s not all. Avocados possess powerful antioxidant and disease fighting phytonutrients. For this reason, researchers are now considering them true “phyter-fruits” Improving your diet can be a satisfying experience when your taste buds are treated to the rich taste of this creamy fruit. Avocados fit great within an anti-inflammatory, paleo type diet. Don’t be fooled by the fat. Avocados contain heart healthy monounsaturated fats that should be included in every healthy diet. Far too few people who try to lose weight understand that they need to Eat Fat to Lose Fat
