Do you eat avocados? They would be an excellent addition to your diet if you dont. Heres why. One avocado contains 36% of the daily requirement of vitamin K, 30% of the folate, and 20% each of the daily requirements of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5, needed to break down carbohydrates), vitamin B6, vitamin C, and potassium, more than twice the potassium of a banana. They also contain vitamin E, niacin, and riboflavin. Eaten with other foods such as tomatoes, your body is better able to absorb the nutrients, such as alpha- and beta-carotene and lutein. Avocados contain lots of fiber and are rich in good fats. They can help keep your cholesterol levels in the healthy range and help lower your risk for heart disease.
