Avocados are not just for guacamole, sliced avocados lend a buttery texture and delicious flavor to sandwiches and salads. But the health benefits of avocados are stellar, especially with the lipid content that allows your body to absorb nutrients they wouldn’t otherwise.

Avocados are also very high in essential vitamins and minerals, including fiber, vitamins K, B5, B6 and C, folate, and potassium.

Avocado is one of the few fruits that will provide you with “good” fats. That means it can help keep your cholesterol levels already in the healthy range, and help lower your risk for heart disease.

Avocados are one of the best fruits for your health.
