Good morning Lovelies, i hope you had a good night rest. So breakfast is ready. I decided to add Avocado to my watermelon today instead of banana or cucumber which are usually my choice combo.

I know that many of us who are on a weight loss journey have been told to  run away from every and anything fat, so probably you have not had avocado in a long while. 

I want to disabuse your mind about avocado which is a good fat. Yes healthy monounsaturated fatty acids(MUFA). If you would like to lose weight, improve your skin and lower your risk of many life-threatening diseases like cancer, diabetes and heart disease, then Avocado should be on you 'do-list'.

1.  FOR HEALTHY BLOOD PRESSURE

Avocado is particularly rich in potassium, even higher than  banana that usually get our votes. Many people don’t get enough of the mineral potassium in their diet. This deficiency can lead to high blood pressure, which is in turn a significant risk factor for heart attack, stroke and kidney disease. So avocado is a good food to eat for normal blood pressure and a lower risk of kidney failure and heart disease.The oleic acid and dietary fiber in avocados help normalize blood sugar levels, lowering the risk of diabetes.

2.   IMPROVES SKIN TONE AND APPEARANCE

The monounsaturated fats in avocado are vital for maintaining good moisture levels in the epidermal layer of your skin that make it look and feel soft and healthy.

These omega-3 fats are known to assist in reducing skin redness and irritation and are involved in repairing damaged skin cells. A good dietary intake of monounsaturated fat can moderate sebum production as well, which helps control acne, blackheads and excessively oily skin. Also protects your skin from wrinkles and other visible signs of aging with its antioxidant carotenoids; vitamin E which helps guard against photo-aging from sun exposure; and vitamin C which is involved in the creation of elastin and collagen for maintaining your skin’s elasticity and firmness.

3.  AIDS IN WEIGHT LOSS

Yes, you heard right. Avocado may be high in fat and calories but it is recommended for weight loss. Research has shown that avocado’s monounsaturated fatty acids are much more likely to be used as slow burning energy than stored as body fat. Snacking on nuts like almonds and omega-3 rich walnuts is highly beneficial to weight loss instead of high carbohydrate processed foods.

The steady energy and satisfied fullness that you get from eating an avocado is one of the reasons it is so good at reducing hunger and appetite, which in turn stops you from over eating.
