The effects and functions of avocado

1. Avocado’s effect in preventing hyperlipidemia

Everyone knows that people with high blood lipids mostly have high cholesterol levels in their blood. Avocados contain a lot of unsaturated fat, which can replace the saturated fat in people's daily food, thus reducing the intake of fat in the blood and thus playing a role in lowering cholesterol. Since cholesterol is lowered, the onset of high blood lipid symptoms will also decrease.

2. The beauty effects of avocado

Avocado has a good affinity with human skin and is easily absorbed by the skin. At the same time, this fruit has a strong adsorption capacity for ultraviolet rays, so avocado can be used directly on the skin instead of sunscreen products. In addition, avocado contains a large amount of vitamins and carotene. After these substances are absorbed by the skin, they can make people's skin rosy, white, and more natural.

3. Avocado’s role in preventing fetal malformations

Avocados contain a lot of folic acid, which is the most commonly used health care drug for pregnant women and a common drug that can prevent fetal malformations. Therefore, pregnant women who often eat avocados can increase their intake of folic acid, thereby preventing fetal malformations.

4. Avocado promotes digestion

Avocados contain a lot of fiber, and insoluble fiber is an important ingredient that can speed up human digestion. After people eat avocados, they can speed up intestinal movement and quickly excrete residues accumulated in the body. It is also very beneficial for preventing constipation.
