It’s ok, guacamole. I’m extra sometimes too 🥑 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I hope everyone had a wonderful cinco de mayo yesterday filled with margs, music, and guac 🎉. If you didn’t already know, avocados are FRUITS with numerous health benefits. For starters, they contain many vitamins and minerals, including Vitamins K, C, E, B5, B6, Folate, Potassium 💊, and small amounts of Mag, Copper, Iron, Zinc, and Vit A. Hass Avocados contain about 3g of protein, 15-20g of healthy fats, 7g of fiber, and 2 net carbs. They have NO cholesterol or sodium 😱!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Studies have demonstrated that eating avocados can lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglyceride levels, and increase good cholesterol levels (HDL) ⚖️. They also aid with the absorption of other “fat soluble” nutrients; one study showed that adding avocado or avocado oil to your salad or salsa can increase antioxidant absorption by 3-15 times 🙌🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Not only do avocados increase antioxidant absorption from other foods, they are high in antioxidants themselves. These include the nutrients Lutein and Zeaxanthin, which are quite important for eye health 👁. In addition, the fats in avocados are resistant to heat-induced oxidation, making avocado oil a healthy and safe choice for high heat cooking 🍳. So how many can we eat? Experts say that if you love your avocados, you can eat them daily (about 1/2 an avocado per day), just don’t go too crazy 😜⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📸: I would like to shout out my absolute favorite clothing store @etiquetteboutiques for not only giving me the opportunity to WIN tickets to sunfest this weekend, but also having THE BEST clothes available in south Florida (They have an online shop too! Link in bio). While this particular shirt from them is no longer available, I did link a few alternatives on my #liketkit page.
