Avocados are not just for health food influencers on Instagram. This green fruit is considered a superfood for a plethora of reasons that will improve your health (and your likes)!
Get That Goddess Glow
Avocados are known as “The Fruit of the Gods,” but the one who will be looking like a real goddess is you after eating them. Avocados are high in the good monounsaturated fat, which leaves your skin soft and glowing. When combined with vitamin E, they also help to create the production of collagen, which wards off wrinkles to keep a fresher youthful face!
Boost Your Brain
Did you know that avocados have even more potassium than bananas? Potassium is important for sending oxygen to your brain, keeping you energized, and reducing your risk for depression. This keeps your brain thinking positively and working to its full potential!
Maintain Strong Teeth and Bones
Vitamin D in Avocados is essential for proper calcium absorption in the body. Without proper vitamin D intake, individuals are at risk for brittle bones (especially women, who have a high risk for osteoporosis) and cracking teeth. All the more reason to slice some avocado to keep you physically strong and your smile gleaming!
Hydrate For Luscious Locks
There’s a reason many hair masks have avocados in them. The fatty amino acids and vitamins A, D, and E in the fruit all work together to create strong strands that shine. The oils specifically help to hydrate dry damaged hair. The vitamins nourish the scalp to stimulate hair growth. While applying to your hair in a mask goes directly to the source of the problem, eating avocados will also boost the benefits for your hair.
Improve Your Digestion
Avocados are rich in soluble fiber, which helps keep the good bacteria in your gut working properly for digestion and weight loss. Soluble fiber also works to prevent spikes in blood sugar levels, which is vital for maintaining your energy level throughout the day without any unwanted crash.
The list of benefits of this superfood honestly goes on… At this rate, you should already be heading to the store to stock up on some avocados ASAP!
