4 awesome reasons to eat avocados

  1. Full of fiber, which fills you up faster, improves digestive health and helps you maintain steady blood sugar levels.
  2. Rich in monounsaturated fats. These healthy fats help improve cholesterol levels and lower heart disease risk when used in place of saturated fats.
  3. Packed with vitamins and minerals—around 20 different kinds, including potassium and magnesium.
  4. Naturally sodium-free, which helps keep blood pressure in check.
