Fast Fitness: Three Reasons to Start Eating Avocados
If you’re looking for a way to give almost any meal a big health boost, look no further than avocados. While they’re best known in guacamole form, they’re also great in everything from salads to turkey burgers. Here are just three of the many reasons you should be including them in your next meal, courtesy of Healthline:
- So. Many. Vitamins. They’re packed with vitamins K, C, B5, B6 and E, as well as folate and potassium. They also contain smaller amounts of many others
- High in the right kind of fat. Don’t let our fear of fat get in the way of getting the fat you need – monounsaturated. Just like the healthy fat in olive oil, it is great for your heart, reducing inflammation and thwarting cancer
- Tons of fiber. Fiber is key to weight loss, reducing blood sugar spikes and preventing many diseases
