You Are What You Eat: Health Wealth Of Avocados

We all know that you are what you eat and the importance of including a proper source of protein, vitamins and healthy fats into our diets. But what makes Nepali avocados stand out above the rest? 

It’s hard to believe but avocados have been around since the 8th century BC! Avocados (derived from the Aztec word ‘ahucatl’ – also known as an “alligator pear” or “butter fruit”) have been used in a wide variety of South American and Asian countries as both a means of nutrition and for medicinal purposes. Avocados are one of the most nutrient-dense fruits in the world making it a superfood on every level! 

Nepali avocados are high in omega-3, low in sugar and sodium and loaded to the brim with antioxidants! They help you absorb nutrients, are packed full of heart-healthy fats and rich in oleic acid and fiber.

Weight Management

This superhero fruit has been used consistently throughout the ages and for good reason! 

Although high in calories; with 20 grams of monounsaturated (healthy) fats and a whopping 13 grams of dietary fiber, studies have shown that incorporating avocados into your daily diet (especially during lunchtime) helps you burn body fat and aids as an appetite suppressant while boosting your metabolic rate, which will keep you feeling full for up to 5 hours and shrink your waistline!

Furthermore, it has become a top contender for health-conscious foodies following such meal plans as Keto, Paleo and Atkins.  Regular consumption of Nepali avocados has proven, not to only burn more belly fat, but also lower BMI, reduce blood sugar spikes, balance hormones, lower cholesterol levels and combat heart disease.

Vitality In Vitamins!

We’ve always known to eat our greens and take our daily recommended supplements as prescribed by our doctor, but did you know that the avocado packs a massive punch in our daily dose of vitamins and minerals!?

One Nepali avocado contains 20 vitamins and minerals, making it the perfect nutrient-dense food. From Vitamin B1 through B6, Vitamin E, C & K and a handful of beneficial minerals such as magnesium, fiber, iron and folic acid, below are the top nominees for a happy body and healthy life thanks to the Nepali avocado:

 Vitamin E: Boots immune function and helps cells to regenerate. It is also rich in antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties which is beneficial for skin rejuvenation and its appearance.

Folic Acid: Also known as Folate, it is essential to help produce and maintain red blood cells in the body as well as “prevent changes to DNA that could potentially lead to cancer.” It is also an essential player in balancing your metabolism.

Vitamin B1: Also known as Thiamin, B1 helps to keep your nervous system running smoothly, like a well-oiled machine, and converts carbs into energy.

Potassium (Vitamin K): Move over bananas! Replace them with avocados! One avocado provides more milligrams of potassium than a banana and, as we know, potassium is crucial to the proper function of the kidneys and heart. It reduces the risk of kidney stones, fights bone loss such as osteoporosis and can help lower blood pressure.  

Fiber: Studies reveal that “fiber has emerged as a leading dietary component in chronic disease prevention – lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancers.” With its naturally high fiber content, the Nepali avocado aids in lowering blood sugar levels, helps with bodily function, weight management and obesity. 

Magnesium: This mineral is an essential need for humans which aids in the amount of energy we have and is important for our muscle function.

Copper and Iron: These two minerals work together to help form red blood cells in the body. Copper aids in iron absorption while iron helps transfer oxygen from the lungs to its tissue, muscles and supports our metabolism. By working together, these minerals take care of keeping our bones, immune system and blood vessels in check, keeping us happy and healthy for the long term!

Vitamin C:  We all know Vitamin C is a major player in the antioxidant department. It’s also vital in repairing and taking care of all tissues in our body from our skin to our inner workings such as our tendons, blood vessels and ligaments. 

In conclusion, all those years of thinking apples and bananas were what you needed for vitality show no match for the superfruit of the century: The Nepali avocado!
