Cooking Light Magazine writes that 26 of the 30 grams of fat in an avocado are heart-healthy, unsaturated fats that can increase your levels of HDL (good) cholesterol. These healthy fats help the body absorb vital fat-soluble nutrients such as vitamins A, E and beta-carotene.

Wonderful post as always Laurel! Avacodos are also rich in glutathione, a strong antioxidant that in addition to having value in cancer prevention, may help treat viral hepatitis as well. Thanks for your easy to understand, easy to apply ideas to keep us healthy!
