Simply put, avocados are nutritious, they’re delicious, and they’re versatile. Why’s all that matter? Well, the latest superfood on the block may be awesome (nutritious), but if it tastes terrible and/or you have no idea how incorporate it in your diet, how in the world can reap its potential benefits? Exactly. That’s what makes avocados awesome. They’re loaded with over 20 essential nutrients, including vitamin K, folate, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin E, pantothenic acid, riboflavin, niacin, and potassium. Of course, avocados are loaded with healthy fats, they’re a good source of fiber, and jam-packed with antioxidants. All this awesomeness contributes to at least TEN different health benefits: - Weight management. In general, research shows that folks who regularly consume avocados are more likely to have a lower body weight, body mass index, and waist circumference. - Appetite management. One of the reasons that may be the case is that avocados tend to improve meal satisfaction and satiety, and along those lines, eating avocados tends to reduce the desire to eat and snack in the hours after an avocado-containing meal. - Heart health. For starters, avocados are great sources of heart healthy monounsaturated fats and fiber. What’s more, they provide potassium and vitamin K, nutrients that are essential to maintaining healthy blood pressure and clean, flexible arteries, respectively. - Healthy bones. Frequently overshadowed by calcium and vitamin D, vitamin K is crucial for maintaining healthy bones as it is essential for the body to effectively use calcium for bone building. - Digestive health. Fiber is synonymous with digestive health as it promotes fecal bulk, stool frequency, and intestinal transit time. Fiber also helps support a healthy balance of gut bacteria. - Healthy eyes and vision. Avocados are a rich source of the antioxidants carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin (also known as the macular carotenoids and “natural sunscreen”), which play a crucial role in eye health and visual function and performance. - Brain health. Healthy fats and antioxidants are key ingredients for a healthy brain, and avocados are a poster child for both. What’s more, avocados contain several B vitamins, including folate, which is crucial for brain health and mood. - Healthy aging. Once again, antioxidants are the name of the game when it comes to overall health and healthy aging, and in addition to the mighty lutein and zeaxathin, avocados also contain the carotenoids lycopene and beta-carotene, which are powerful antioxidants, not to mention vitamins C and E, which are also free radical fighters. And when you figure into the equation that avocados support all the above health benefits, it’s easy to see how they’re an integral piece of an anti-aging diet. - Better diet quality. Studies show that avocado consumption is associated with better diet quality. Not only that, pairing avocados with vegetables (such as tomatoes) leads up to 15 times greater absorption of health-boosting antioxidants. - Sexual health. Consuming plenty of healthy fats is key to optimizing reproductive hormones. On top of that, avocados have long been considered an aphrodisiac thanks in part to the ancient Aztecs, which named the fruit ahuacate, the Aztec word for testicle. And you can enjoy all this nutrient-dense fruit in so many ways: - Chopped or sliced on top of a salad or omelet - Blended into a smoothie (sooo creamy!) - Mashed into guacamole - Chopped or sliced as a garnish for chili, soup, or stew - Mixed into a salsa (mango salsa, anyone?) - Blended into homemade salad dressings - Mashed and spread on a sandwich in place of mayo - Mashed as stuffing for burgers - Mashed into hummus or deviled eggs - Grilled - And of course, by itself with some sea salt And that’s just a handful of the “conventional” ideas. There’s no limit to how you can work more of this superfood into your diet.  This oil removes 15 years of wrinkles...
