Guacamole is a great way to incorporate heart-healthy avocado into your diet! The benefits of avocado are endless, such as:
- Antioxidant booster: contain the master antioxidant "glutathione" which boosts your body's immune system and keeps your nervous system healthy
- Protects your eyes: avocado's are rich in lutein which is necessary to keep your eyes healthy and prevent age-related macular degeneration
- Cardiovascular health: avocado's contain oleic acid which improves cardiovascular health. Vitamin B6 and folic acid control homocysteine levels which are linked to increased risk of heart disease
- High fiber content: avocados contain more natural fiber than any other fruit! This high fiber content aids in digestion and helps regulate blood sugar
- Helps absorb nutrients: eating avocados with other vegetables helps your body absorb 3-5 times more carotenoid antioxidant molecules in those foods!
