Effects of Avocado on Health

A sentence like this: "An avocado a day keeps bad cholesterol away". In fact, this sentence is not groundless.

Researchers at Pennsylvania State University show that eating an avocado a day can effectively improve the bad cholesterol level of overweight and obese people.

The experimental results show that compared with the average American diet, the medium-fat diet containing avocado can reduce the level of low-density lipoprotein (bad cholesterol) 13.5mg/dL, and the medium-fat diet without avocado can reduce the level of bad cholesterol by 8.3 mg/dL.

However, the low-fat diet makes the personal bad cholesterol drop unexpectedly lowest, only 7.4 mg/dl. From this point of view, a low-fat diet may not be the best choice to reduce bad cholesterol, but avocados do help to reduce bad cholesterol.

In addition, avocados may also prevent thrombosis. As we all know, the formation of thrombus often becomes a "time bomb" for cardiovascular diseases and strokes.

A study by the American Heart Association shows that the polyacetyl molecules in avocado, like aspirin, can prevent platelet aggregation, reduce platelets and prevent thrombosis.

At present, they have successfully isolated polyacetyl molecules from avocado, and confirmed that this special component can really reduce the risk of arterial thrombosis.

Judging from the current research situation, avocado, which is rich in carotenoids, minerals, phenols, vitamins and fatty acids, has been proved to have the functions of lowering blood fat, anti-hypertension, anti-obesity, anti-thrombosis, anti-atherosclerosis and protecting the heart in many studies.
