The Good, The Bad and the Avocado
The good and the bad of avocados (The Good)
Avocados are loaded with potassium and healthy fats. This makes them an excellent post-workout snack. Eating monounsaturated fats, such as the kind found in avocados, can help lower LDL and increase HDL. This can lead to a healthier heart and even weight loss. This high-fat content also means that you’ll feel full after your meal, making it less likely that you’ll grab an unhealthy snack or eat an entire bag of potato chips. The high potassium levels are great to replenish all the lost electrolytes. It’s easy to get sodium in your diet, simply add table salt to your meal. But potassium is harder to get. Some people prefer bananas, but if you’re looking for a savory snack instead, grab an avocado. Nutritionists have said that the perfect amount to eat is between ½ to 1 avocado per day. Any more and you may risk consuming too much fat or too much potassium. Remember, other foods that you eat throughout the day also contain fat and potassium. And the golden rule in nutrition is, everything in moderation.the good and the bad of avocados (The Bad)
Too much of a good thing turns into a bad thing, and that’s true for avocados. This high-calorie, high-fat food can cause weight gain. For those who already suffer from cardiovascular disease, eating lots of avocados is not recommended. Despite the fact that it contains “healthy fats,” at the end of the day, fat is fat. If your health problems are caused by fat, then the solution is to limit or eliminate fat intake. Try to find another source of potassium and eat leafy greens to get antioxidants. Another issue, Avocados have a moderate drug interaction with Warfarin, a blood thinner. If you’re on this medication for whatever reason, don’t eat avocados, as these fruits can decrease the efficacy of the drug. Doctors aren’t sure why avocados have that effect, but if you insist on having your guacamole, consult your healthcare professional first. And if you have latex allergies, it’s possible that you can develop allergies to avocados, along with other fruits. This is because the proteins in latex that cause the allergies are also in avocados. If your allergies are severe, it’s best to consult your immunologist before adding this fruit to your diet.Conclusion
As with any nutritional fad, eating too many avocados is not healthy. Unfortunately, there is no magic food that you can eat that will fix all your health problems. A well-balanced diet and well-balanced life include eating a variety of fruits and vegetables. Practice moderation and you’ll reap all the benefits of the avocado.Post Publications || Join us on Whatsapp || Post Disclaimer
