Avocados are rich in taste and nutrition and one of nature's most nutrient-dense foods. They're cholesterol-free, sodium-free, low in saturated fat and loaded with dietary fiber, vitamins B6, C, E and potassium. Avocados also contain lutein and phytochemicals which are natural plant nutrients that help protect against a variety of cancers and diseases. Avocado is high in fat, but fat in avocados is the healthful, monounsaturated variety, shown to reduce cholesterol levels and helps to decrease the risk of heart disease and stroke and one more reason to enjoy healthy avocados, on a daily basis!
Not only are avocados a source of good nutrition, but they're also good for your skin. So, it's not surprising that avocados are being used to develop various new healthy skin and hair care products.
