Avocado is everywhere, and rightfully so. It’s a superfood. Each fruit
is packed with 10 grams of fiber and more than twice the potassium of a banana.
Avocado has been shown to lower cholesterol levels, reduce cancer and diabetes
risk, and improve skin health. The drawback: Due to its high-fat
content (heart-healthy monounsaturated fat is still fat) and the heavy praise
avocado receives for its health benefits, it’s all too easy to go overboard.
“While they’re packed with more than 20 vitamins and minerals, avocados are
still calorically dense,” says Tanya Zuckerbrot, R.D., author of The
Miracle Carb Diet. “Use moderation when adding them to
your salads, sandwiches, and anything else.”
