Most of us may think that we are simply adding more flavour or improving the taste of our food when avocado is involved, but did you know that your body is also getting a healthy dose of benefits in the process? Here are what this superfood can do for your body:

1. Packed with content– Just one fruit contains more than 5 types of vitamins and various minerals

2. Rich Potassium Source– A single serving of Avocado contains more Potassium than a banana

3. Supplies Good Fats– Comprised mostly of heart-friendly oleic acid, which is common in olive oil

4. Dietary Fibre Source– Mix of insoluble and soluble fibre that is good for the stomach

5. Curbs Cholesterol Build-up– Lowers cholesterol levels and protects the heart

6. Absorb nutrients easily– Fat-soluble Vitamins (A, D, E, K) are more reactive with avocado oil

7. Antioxidizing effects– Contain lutein and zeaxanthin that are good for your eyes

8. Lower Hunger Level– Findings show that avocado eaters consume less food throughout the day¹

It is worth noting that avocado is perhaps one of the most accessible superfoods available, simply because there are so many ways to prepare and eat it. Use avocados in your dishes to add both a heaping mouthful of taste and goodness to your life.
