It's been years and avocados are all the hype! Clearly, they're here to stay. I've gotta say, it makes sense -- avocados are rich in vitamins and antioxidants, making them a fantastic addition to your diet.
Avocados are great for digestion because they are high in fiber and low in sugar. The beneficial fats are wonderful for skin health, vitamin and mineral absorption, and are an immune system booster! The high percentage of vitamin K found in avocados supports bone and joint strength, and the high levels of folate reduce cancer risks and are beneficial to pregnant women.
Start Every Day with an Avocado
