For many unfamiliar, a single serving of avocado provides over 20 of the crucial vitamins, minerals and properties our body needs to function properly throughout the day. It contains vitamin C, K, E, B6, copper, potassium, folate, pantothenic acid and more.
2. Healthy Fat
Avocados are loaded with good monounsaturated fats which greatly help lower the cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
3. Cholesterol Levels
As we mentioned above, this fruit does a great job when it comes to lowering the blood triglycerides and LDL cholesterol levels, while increasing the HDL levels.

6. Blood Pressure

8. Arthritis

10. Pregnancy
Avocados are packed with potassium, folate, vitamin C and vitamin B6, and all of these are essential for the baby’s tissue and brain development, as well as the fetus development.
11. Prevents Diabetes
Consuming half or a whole avocado per day will greatly help your body in regulating blood glucose levels, insulin and lower the overall risk of diabetes.
