Food is not only the effect of filling hunger, the nutritional value of food and some of its effects are also worthy of attention by each of us. For example, some foods eat blood sugar, some foods can lose weight, and some foods can lower blood pressure, not that eating can be effective, but long-term adherence to such a diet will be conducive to good health. Many of them are saying that avocados are the "holy products" of health care. Does it really work that well?
First of all, we should clearly understand that all kinds of foods can only play an auxiliary effect on health, and it is difficult for food to play an immediate effect like medicine. For example, some foods can lose weight, lower blood pressure, etc. Are the same, when a certain food is blown to a significant effect, we should be vigilant, this is mostly fake, avocado is the same.
Originally known as avocado, avocados are abundant in Mexico, but when they were first marketed, because they were expensive and unpalatable, the general public did not buy it. In terms of nutritional content, avocado is indeed a very healthy food, it is rich in fat, every 100g there is 15.3g of fat, is the highest fat content in the fruit, and 70% of polyunsaturated fatty acids, saturated fat is very little. Unsaturated fatty acids have the effect of lowering cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, and can also prevent cardiovascular disease. From these points of view, eating avocados appropriately is good for health.
As for some people who say that eating avocado is good for weight loss, this is not figuring out how to lose weight. Weight loss is inseparable from the law of conservation of energy, and effective weight loss can only be achieved when the consumption of calories is greater than the intake. And the calories of the avocado are not low, because the fat content is too high, and even it is not abrupt to divide it into meat. Eating too much such food will only have the opposite effect on weight loss. Of course, if you are moderate, then eating avocados or not can also control your weight very well.
In fact, the unsaturated fatty acids contained in avocados are found in many foods, such as olive oil, sunflower oil, peanut oil, flaxseed oil, perilla oil, etc. in common edible oils; There are also nutty sunflower seeds, pistachios, pecans, almonds, etc.; as well as salmon, anchovies, herring and so on in seafood. As an ordinary person, eating avocados that have a greater marketing effect than the actual effect, there are more affordable ways to supplement unsaturated fatty acids.
Overall, avocados have their own nutritional value, but they are not irreplaceable. Compared to its price and fame, it is a bit unworthy of its name. We can eat avocados as a dietary flavor concoction, and eating them properly will not do any harm.
