Studies show avocado benefits to be “off the charts” when it comes to healing and fighting off aging. The truth is, this fruit is one of the healthiest foods you can eat.

Avocado benefits are many. In fact, they are one of the healthiest foods you can eat. They are an excellent source of monounsaturated fat, a type of fat your body will burn for energy instead of storing. Avocados also contain loads and loads of absorbable vitamins and antioxidants. These super-fruits have numerous health benefits that might surprise you.

Avocado Benefits: Potassium Rich.

Avocados provide close to 20 essential health-boosting nutrients, including potassium, vitamin E, B vitamins, and folic acid. Potassium plays a critical function in heart health, bone health, digestive function, and muscle density maintenance. Potassium is essential for the proper function of all cells, tissues, and organs in your body.

Despite the fact that it is available in many foods, only 2 percent of adults in the U.S. get the recommended daily amount. This fact is particularly troubling because potassium offsets hypertensive effects of sodium. Imbalance in your sodium-potassium ratio can not only lead to high blood pressure but may also contribute to many other diseases, including heart disease and stroke.

About two and a half avocados provide the daily recommended amount of about 4,700 milligrams (mg) of potassium a day. Additionally, an average avocado contains about 40 mg of magnesium, which is about 10 percent of the recommended daily value.

Avocado Benefits: Healthy Fat Super-Charger.

[the_ad id=”81876″]Because avocados are incredibly rich in healing fatty acids, they assist your body’s ability to absorb certain fat-soluble nutrients from other food sources. One facinating study first published in The Journal of Nutrition noted that eating a whole fresh avocado with an orange-colored tomato sauce significantly enhanced absorption of the various carotenoids. It also converted the carotenoids into a bio-active form of vitamin A.

Avocado Benefits: BIO-Available Vitamin C and Vitamin E. Avocados are one of few foods that contain significant levels of both vitamins C and E and are high in fiber, with about 4.6 grams in half an avocado. So when you eat avocados, you’re providing your body with a wide-spectrum package of nutrition.

Avocado Benefits: Cancer-fighting.

Avocatin B, an amazing type of fat found in avocados, has been found to combat acute myeloid leukemia, a deadly form of cancer. The cancer-fighting fat in avocados was able to shut down the leukemia stem cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed. Avocados are also rich in cancer-fighting carotenoids, which are most plentiful in the dark-green portion of the flesh that’s closest to the skin. Studies also show promising results for prostate cancer.

Avocado Benefits: Weight Loss.

According to a published research study in Nutrition Journal, those who ate half an avocado with their standard lunch reported being 40 percent less hungry three hours after their meal and 28 percent less hungry at the five-hour mark compared to those who did not eat avocado with lunch. The study also pointed out that avocados appear helpful for regulating blood sugar.

Be Certain You Lock-In Your Avocado Benefits:

[the_ad id=”81686″]To preserve the area with the highest concentration of antioxidants, you’ll want to peel the avocado with your hands just like you would a banana. Pretty darn easy.

1. Cut avocado lengthwise around the seed

2. Holding each half of the avicado, twist them in opposite directions to separate them from seed

3. Cut each half lengthwise

4. Next, using a teaspoon or your thumb and index finger, simply peel the skin off each piece

Avocado Benefits: Pesticide Safe. While no crop in the modern world is 100 percent pesticide free, Avocados have been rated as one of the safest commercial crops concerning pesticide application. The fruits thick outer skin protects the inner fruit from large pesticide concentrations.

As readers already know, its important to consider all aspects of healthcare. This is especially true for those who want to stay healthy off-the-grid.
