Description: The avocado, also known as Persea americana, is a powerhouse superfood. Avocados contain healthy fats, anti-aging, disease-fighting , and nearly 20 vitamins and minerals.1Regular avocado eaters have higher intakes of fiber, vitamins E and K, magnesium, and potassium than those who don't eat avocados.2Here are nine health benefits of avocados and how to incorporate them into your daily meals and snacks.Benefits of AvocadoAvocados, technically fruits, provide more than important nutrients. They reduce your risk of developing cardiovascular disease and living with obesity and improve cognitive function and digestive health.1. Boosts SatietyEating healthy fats helps slow stomach emptying, which keeps you full longer than usual and delays the return of hunger. This satisfied feeling is known as satiety. Avocados, whose fat content primarily comes from heart-healthy monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), fit that bill.Adding half of an avocado to your meal may significantly boost satiety for up to five hours.2. Helps Manage Body WeightThe notion that eating fat makes you gain weight is wrong. Eating healthy fats is a savvy weight management strategy. Having one avocado a day in a calorie-controlled diet for 12 weeks, while adding fat and calories, didn't prevent weight loss.4Plant-based fats like those in an avocado provide antioxidants and fight inflammation, which has been linked to healthy weight management. Eating avocados regularly may help you to maintain a healthy weight, even without eating fewer calories. Regular avocado eaters generally have a more nutritious diet—consuming more veggies and fruits and less refined foods—and have lower body weight and a smaller waist circumference than those who don't eat avocados.5. Boosts NutrientsEnjoying avocados at mealtime can help your body absorb more antioxidants from other healthy foods. Pairing avocado with tomato sauce and carrots boosts the absorption of vitamin A, which is a crucial nutrient for healthy skin, vision, and immunity.Avocados may also help support a healthier diet overall. Regular avocado eaters tend to consume more vegetables, fruits, and whole grains.13 People who consume avocados have significantly high intakes of the following nutrients:13FiberHealthful monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatsMagnesiumPotassiumVitamin E6. Promotes Healthy DigestionAvocados positively impact the gut microbiome inside your digestive tract, home to trillions of microorganisms and their genetic material. A healthy gut microbiome strengthens immune function, fights inflammation, and protects against chronic diseases.A 12-week meal plan containing avocados resulted in positive changes to the gut microbiome over the 12 weeks—increasing the overall microbe amount and diversity—supporting gut health.15Also, while this meal plan slightly increased the calories, the waste excreted more fat. In other words, the gut didn't absorb the fat into the bloodstream, which may be another way avocados contribute to weight management.Nutrition of AvocadoOne whole avocado—without the skin and seed—provides the following nutrients:9Calories: 322 caloriesProtein: 4 gramsCarbohydrates: 17 gramsFolate: 163 microgramsVitamin K: 42 microgramsVitamin C: 20 milligramsVitamin E: 4 milligramsPotassium: 975 milligramsMagnesium: 58 milligramsOver 300 calories for one avocado may seem like a lot, but they primarily come from almost 30 grams of healthy fat. Most of the carbohydrates are 13 grams of fiber, which is half the recommended amount for an adult.199 On average, one Haas avocado has 30% soluble fiber and 70% insoluble fiber.9Just one avocado provides an impressive number of vitamins. The amount of folate, one of the many B vitamins responsible for energy metabolism and new cell production, is 40% of the daily value.20 Avocado has over 30% of the daily value for vitamin K, necessary for blood clotting and bone health.21 The amount of vitamin C is over 20% of the daily value of the water-soluble antioxidant that supports immune health and aids collagen synthesis to promote wound healing.22 The four milligrams of vitamin E, a fat-soluble antioxidant that supports cell structure, is 26% of the daily value for vitamin E.23Avocados also contain minerals. Nearly 30% of the daily value of potassium and almost 20% of the daily value of magnesium, a mineral essential for structural and chemical reactions in the human body, is in this fruit.Tips for Consuming AvocadosAvocados can be eaten alone or added to dishes, but there are many ways to enjoy them, including in sweet dishes. Avocados can be whipped into fruit smoothies or chocolate pudding and added to fruit tacos.They can even be substituted for butter when baking. Trade each tablespoon of butter in recipes for brownies and cupcakes for half a tablespoon of avocado. That swap slashes calories, upgrades the nutritional quality of your goodies, and still provides a creamy texture that will leave you satisfied.A Quick ReviewAvocados are delicious fruits that function as a healthy fat, packed with nearly 20 different vitamins and minerals. People who regularly eat avocados have higher intakes of fiber, vitamins E and K, magnesium, and potassium than people who don't eat them.
