HEALTH BENEFITS OF AVOCADO:

- Creamy rich avocado is considered the world's healthiest fruit, because of its nutrient contents such as vitamin K, dietary fiber, potassium, folic acid, vitamin B6, vitamin C, copper, and reasonable calories in it.

- Avocados contain “oleic acid”, a monounsaturated fat that may help lower cholesterol.

- Good source of potassium, a mineral that helps regulate blood pressure. Adequate intake of potassium can help guard against circulatory diseases, like high blood pressure, heart disease, or stroke.

- One cup of avocado has about 23% of the Daily Value for folate, a nutrient important for heart health.

- Good for prevention or treatment of “breast cancer” as well as “prostate cancer”
