10 Benefits of Avocado
Avocado Benefit #8: Weight Management
Avocados are high in “good” fats called polyunsaturated fatty acids as well as fiber. These are two important components for regulating hunger as well as blood glucose levels. Avocado oils are also high in monounsaturated and oleic fatty acids which are known to help decrease the risk of metabolic syndrome as well as help shrink the waistline.
Avocados are also sources of vitamin K that can help treat deficiencies related to gastrointestinal disorders such as celiac or Crohn’s disease. A study in Diabetes Care showed that individuals who consumed their daily recommended amount of vitamin K had a 25% lower chance of developing diabetes via weight gain and insulin resistance.
