Avocados
Avocado is a stone fruit that contains nearly twenty vitamins and minerals. Including avocados in your diet can help reduce the risk of many lifestyle-related health diseases. One avocado contains 60 calories, almost 6 grams of fat, 3 grams of carbs, less than a gram of sugar and 3 grams of fiber. Most of the calories in avocados come from fat, but avocado fats are good for your health, so don’t worry!
“I swear by avocados! The heart-healthy unsaturated fat in a delicious serving of avocado helps me stay full, which keeps me from snacking too much. Avocados are packed with vitamins C, K and B6 and they contain pre- and probiotics – keeping my gut healthy!” said Taz Bhatia, M.D., assistant professor at Emory University in Preventive/Integrative Medicine, director of the Atlanta Center for Holistic and Integrative Medicine, and author of “What Doctors Eat”.
