AVOCADOS

 

 Hi, it is a new week and another avenue to hit a mile stone. Avocados hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,
Avocados are one of the world's healthiest foods. I love them in my Detox Programme , irrespective of all I  still love the taste and the immense benefits it gives to the body. I discussed about Avocado oils as a beneficial beauty oil but today we need to dig into the immense benefit of the fruit when ingested. Avocados, according to research contains 40 grams of Avocados, approximately contains 64 calories, 3.4 grams of carbohydrates,less sugar. Avocados are great source of vitamins C, E, K and B6 as well as magnesium,potassium. They also provide Lutein, Beta carotene and Omega 3 fatty acids.

Avocados posses the following health Benefit which includes

Avocados are rich In fiber which makes it incredible for digestion.

Healthy for the heart; avocados contain 25 milligrams per ounce of a natural plant sterol called beta-sitosterol. Regular consumption of beta-sitosterol and other plant sterols has been seen to help maintain healthy cholesterol  levels.

Great for vision: Avocados contain lutein and zeaxanthin, two phytochemicals that are especially concentrated in the tissues in the eyes, where they provide antioxidant protection to help minimize damage, including from ultraviolet light.
As the monounsaturated fatty acids in avocados also supports the absorption of other beneficial fat-soluble antioxidants such as beta carotene, including avocados as part of a healthy diet may help to reduce the risk of developing age-related mascular degeberation

Osteoporosis prevention: Half of an avocado provides approximately 25% of the daily-recommended intake for vitamin K, a nutrient that is often overlooked, but which is essential for bone health. Vitamin K is often overshadowed by calcium  and vitamin D when thinking of nutrients important for maintaining healthy bones, however, eating a diet with adequate vitamin K can support bone health by increasing calcium absorption and reducing urinary excretion of calcium.

 Healthy babies: Folate is also extremely important for a healthy pregnancy, with adequate intake reducing the risk of miscarriage and neural tube defects. Recent research from McGill University also found a 30% higher incidence of a variety of birth defects in baby mice conceived using sperm from mice with a folate deficiency compared to mice conceived using sperm from mice without a folate deficiency

Lower risk of depression: Foods containing high levels of folate may help to decrease the risk of depression as folate helps to prevent the build-up of homocysteine, a substance that can impair circulation and delivery of nutrients to the brain. Excess homocysteine can also interfere with the production of the serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, which regulate mood, sleep and appetite.

 Natural detoxification: Adequate fiber promotes regular bowel movements, which are crucial for the daily excretion of toxins through the bile and stool. Recent studies have shown that dietary fiber may also play a role in regulating the immune system and inflammation.

Keep chopping avocados ignore the taste.
Do Have a splendid week ahead.
