Avocados are oils and nuts, so don't just eat them as regular fruit.

Compared with other fruits, avocado has amazing characteristics and unique nutritional components. Director Jiang Qiuyue, a nutritionist at Wuzhilinxin Hospital, said that avocados have a smooth texture and a unique milky flavor. Most fruits contain almost no fat, but avocados are rich in fat and are known as the "cream of the forest." When you see the word "cream", you will probably understand that avocado is not an ordinary fruit. Due to its unique nutrients and high fat content, it is classified as "oils, nuts and seeds" among the six major food categories in my country's daily dietary guidelines. Therefore, don’t just eat avocados as any other fruit. Be careful not to lose weight and end up gaining weight instead!

Avocados are high in nutritional density and eating them in moderation is good for your health

Avocado is a "nutrient-dense" superfood and was once listed in the Guinness Book of Records. Every 100 grams of avocado contains about 70 to 85 calories. The sugar content is about half of that of ordinary fruits, which is about 7 grams. The fat content is about 5 to 7 grams. It is especially rich in high-quality fatty acids, Omega-3 fatty acids. It is also rich in minerals and vitamins, such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, vitamins A, B, C, D, E and folic acid.

Since avocados are rich in nutritional value, what are their health benefits? Director Jiang Qiuyue said that avocados are rich in antioxidants (polyphenols) and anti-cancer plant sterols, as well as monounsaturated fatty acids, the main component of which is oleic acid, which has antioxidant effects, helps lower cholesterol and blood pressure, and protects cardiovascular health. Studies have shown that it can reduce the inflammatory response of chronic diseases and help patients with chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes to control the disease through dietary therapy.

Omega-3 fatty acids have excellent anti-inflammatory properties and are a good helper for improving chronic inflammation in the body, relieving pain, and preventing heart disease, stroke and even cancer. In addition, avocados are rich in B vitamins that can stabilize and treat neuritis, while oleic acid also has anti-inflammatory effects, which helps relieve pain in the shoulder and neck muscle nerves. The rich potassium ions in avocados help maintain the sodium-potassium ion balance in the human body. Moderate supplementation is helpful for controlling blood pressure and improving edema.

Avocado contains dietary fiber and rich fat, which makes people feel full.

Does drinking avocado milk really help you lose weight? The dietary fiber content of every 100 grams of avocado is about 4 to 6 grams. At the same time, because avocado is rich in fat and has the effect of stabilizing blood sugar, it makes the eater feel fuller and less likely to feel hungry, so it is often used as a weight loss food. In particular, Chinese people like to drink avocado milk, feeling that it tastes smooth and sweet. In fact, the Japanese even boil avocado seeds into water and drink it, which is also rich in dietary fiber, increases satiety, reduces other calorie intake, and also achieves a weight loss effect.

Avocados are high in calories! One avocado is equivalent to the calories of two bowls of rice

Director Jiang Qiuyue reminds that avocados are rich in fat and high in calories. Eating one avocado is equivalent to the calories of two bowls of rice. If you want to use avocados to lose weight or fight inflammation to promote your health, you should consume them in moderation. It is recommended to eat 1/2 avocado every day. If you consume too much every day, it will increase calories and lose the effect of weight loss. Research has found that adding about half an avocado to a meal can increase feelings of fullness after eating for three to five hours and reduce the desire to eat between meals.

Most people eat avocados by cutting them open, digging out the seeds and throwing them away, and only eating the smooth yellow flesh around them. In fact, this way of eating is such a waste! The British Daily Mail once reported that Amy Shapiro, a nutrition expert in New York, said that up to 70% of avocado’s antioxidant components are found in avocado seeds. These antioxidant nutrients can fight against excessive free radicals in the body, help maintain a healthy immune system, and prevent the formation of skin wrinkles. Avocado seeds, in particular, contain a lot of fiber, which can increase good intestinal bacteria, promote intestinal peristalsis, and help excrete waste and cholesterol.

【3 tips for eating avocado】:

1. It is recommended to make avocado into salads, jams, and juices, which are all good choices. Just try to keep its fresh and natural ingredients, and do not add excessive sugar or salt to season it, so as not to unknowingly burden your body.

2. Avocados have a high potassium ion content (250-380 mg of potassium ions per 100 grams), which is not suitable for patients with chronic kidney disease. If you still want to eat it, it is recommended to taste it occasionally, and do not exceed 50 grams per day.

3. Patients with diabetes or hypertension should not stop taking medication without authorization, thinking that they can control blood pressure and blood sugar by eating avocados.
