Avocados are also rich in vitamin C,(You need vitamin C for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body. It helps the body make collagen which is a protein used to make skin, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels. Vitamin C is needed for healing wounds, and for repairing and maintaining bones and teeth.
Avocados also give you Vitamin E (It is a fat-soluble vitamin, and an antioxidant which is a substance that may help prevent damage to the body's cells. It is important in helping your body make red blood cells, and Aids your body to use vitamin K.)
Avocados contains 30% more potassium than bananas. That high amount of potassium helps regulate blood pressure and prevent circulatory diseases.
Avocado also contain carotenoid lutein which keeps the eyes safe from oxidative stress, macular degeneration, and cataracts.
Because they are rich in antioxidants, avocados are useful in preventing aging symptoms. The glutathione in avocado boosts immune systems, slows the aging process, and encourages a healthy nervous system.
AND...believe it or not, Avocados are very effective in stopping bad breath. (It also reduces the risk of oral cancer.)
Now that you know the awesome benifits of this wonderful fruit, why not look up some creative ways to use it. I will list a few to get you started so that you can see its worth more than just guacamole.
Avacado Uses:
