Avocado - can so much fat be healthy?
What's the matter?
The avocado is healthy all around. It is rich in oleic acid, which lowers cholesterol. It also contains a lot of dehydrating potassium. Vitamin E and iron support the immune system, folic acid prevents cardiovascular diseases and prevents the "open back" in unborn children. The avocado covers a third of the daily requirement of fiber and contains plenty of unsaturated fatty acids - and thus calories. According to recent studies, it even lowers cholesterol levels.
Really a superfood?
Yes! Because of their high fat avocados contain many calories. Does not matter, because the fat is of the healthy kind. For an avocado, you can easily do without snacks such as sweet particles or sausages that are not so healthy. Adding avocados to green smoothies removes fat-soluble vitamins from the greens.
You buy avocados hard and let them ripen at home at room temperature. Soft fruits in the store could be stored for too long and have dark inedible places inside. By the way, the green fruit is suitable for people who are vegan, dieting or simply looking after their health.

Can you eat the core?
Have you always thrown away the core of the avocado and only eaten the flesh of the avocado? Then you should not do that any longer, for the sake of your health. Because: The core contains more nutrients, vitamins, unsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants than most other vegetables and fruits. He has even more fiber than oatmeal and other cereals.
It's best to mix the avocado core into a smoothie. The recipe is quite simple: simply remove the avocado from your skin, cut the core and flesh into pieces and mix. A mango, pineapple, a handful of corn salad and a little ginger. Delicious!
