Why Eat Avocados?

So many people I know stay away from avocados because of their high calorie count. They are truly missing out on one of the worlds' healthiest foods.
1/2 cup has 117 kcal, 10.5g fat, 5mg sodium. 6g carbs, 5g fiber, 0.5g sugars, 1.5g protein.

Avocados are loaded with vitamins, minerals, fiber, and healthy fats. Its high levels of potassium aid in maintaining a healthy nervous system and protecting the heart. And all the vitamin E avocados contain boost the immune system, keeps your blood flowing smoothly and the fats it contains are great for your hair and skin. A little goes a long way. How about for breakfast use it on your toast as a spread?  xo ginny
