What are the benefits of this dish?
Conventional advice has gotten it wrong: fats are GOOD for you!
Avocados are thought to have originated in Mexico, and are loaded with healthy fats, fiber and various important nutrients. [1]
They also contain enzymes that help break down fats making them easier to absorb. .
Monounsaturated fats (those present in avocados and other foods such as olives, some meats, and certain nuts, like macadamias) are known for their beneficial effects on cardiovascular disease. [2] In addition, fats from plant-based sources like avocados have shown positive alterations in gut microbiota biodiversity. [3]
Monounsaturated fats have been the only fats that even typically fat-phobics agree are completely healthy!
When thinking of ways to incorporate avocados in your diet, go beyond guacamole! Avocados can be used in smoothies, deserts (chocolate mousse!), salad dressings, soups, and even as a container to bake your eggs in. The possibilities are endless!
