Source of many advantages for your body, it is one of the best foods that can appear on your menu, andnous allons vous expliquer pourquoi.

Avocado: a fruit with many nutritional qualities

Often squeezed out of the menus for its fairly high caloric intake, avocados suffer from a fairly bad reputation. However, its finesse and its light nutty flavor allow it to replace other fats of much lower quality.

Easy to prepare, it is a real culinary aid knowing that it can be:

* Associated with vegetables and fruits used to make salads excellent for health
* Added to dishes like an omelet
* Used as a base for preparing a béarnaise-style sauce and accompany fish or white meat for example
* Natural tasted

Avocado and cholesterol: nothing to worry about!
Contrary to popular belief, avocado can be eaten if you have high levels of LDL (the "bad" cholesterol). Indeed, it is rich in oleic acid which contributes: to lower the LDL level, to raise the HDL level (the "good" cholesterol).

Benefits for the heart
100 g of avocado provides 79.3% of the RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) of Vitamin B9 also called folic acid. Vitamin B9 helps reduce the risks:
* heart attacks
*heart disease: obese people and smokers are particularly susceptible;
* birth defects in the newborn.
* Ideal source of antioxidants
With 81% of the RDA of carotenoids contained in 100 small grams of avocado, here is a non-negligible source of antioxidants that protects, among other things, diseases that can reach the eyes.

Among these carotenoids, we find in avocado:
*  Lutein,
*  Alpha-carotene,
*  Beta-carotene,
*  Zeaxanthin.
Avocado also contains vitamin E and monounsaturated fatty acids which have the effect of making the carotenoids extremely soluble in oil more assimilable (they are liposoluble).

This is the reason why it is advisable to add avocado in salads composed of fruits and vegetables which do not contain monounsaturated fatty acids. Thus, by adding avocado, we multiply by 4 the absorption rate of lycopene (antioxidant present in tomatoes) and by 2.6 that of beta-carotene (precursor of vitamin A, present in carrots and in vegetables leafy greens).

Avocado: ideal for keeping in shape
Its bad reputation leads to think that the lawyer makes you fat. Admittedly, avocado contains a fatty substance, oleic acid, but it has the particularity of providing a feeling of satiety.

Avocado therefore helps reduce the amount of food consumed during a meal.
A good way to find the line if you tend to experience some difficulties in restricting yourself.
