Avocados are a nutritional powerhouse as they offer a wide variety of over twenty vitamins and minerals. Just one of these is potassium which plays a crucial role in blood pressure regulation as well as lutein which has a beneficial effect on eye health. Avocados are in fact a fruit, well a berry to be exact and like most fruits they are a wonderful source of fibre which leads to increased satiety. However unlike other fruits avocados are a rich in monounsaturated fat or “good fat” that has been illustrated to exert a beneficial effect on the lowering of HDL or ” bad cholesterol”. In addition they contain vitamin E which has been shown in recent trials to slow the progression of Alzheimers disease when consumed in high doses.
