Having an avocado in your daily diet can bring you many health benefits. Here are just some of them.

Avocado health benefits are extensive and include:

Contain More Potassium Than Bananas

Potassium helps your body to work normally and keeps your heartbeat steady.

Improves Vision

These antioxidants absorb light waves that can harm your vision. People who eat lots of foods rich in lutein and zeaxanthin antioxidants are less likely to have age-related macular degeneration, which causes blindness in older adults.

Skin and Hair Care

Avocados are packed with nutrients that are beneficial for dry or damaged skin.

Boost Brain Health and Memory

Avocados may boost brain health and memory, due to its rich oleic acid (or OEA), an omega-9 fatty acid that’s linked to improved cognition. 

Reduce the Risk of Depression

Avocados may help lower the risk of depression. Eating monounsaturated fats have been shown to reduce depression.
