New Old Age - Avocado a day
Eating avocado cuts the risk of heart disease by more than a fifth. We all know avocados contain high levels of fiber, healthy unsaturated fats and other key nutrients like magnesium and vitamins C, E and K. But a new thirty-year Harvard study of more than 100,000 people found significant long-term health benefits. As well as reducing coronary heart disease risk, eating avocados brought about a sixteen percent drop in the likelihood of developing other cardiovascular diseases. Researchers found that replacing half a serving daily of margarine, butter, egg, yogurt, cheese or processed meats with the same amount of avocado led to a drop of a fifth in the risk of cardiovascular disease events. If we’re thinking about swapping out some of our more unhealthy foods with healthier options, an avocado a day will keep the cardiologist away. Reference
