AVOCADO SALAD


AVOCADO SALAD with CHAPPATHI



Avocado is also called as Butter fruit in India.

Avocados, a rich source of carotenoids ( helps to protect against eye disease), are packed with disease-fighting antioxidants. It also helps to get more nutrients from other foods.

Avocados contain Oleic acid (which is present in Olive Oil), a fat that activates the part of your brain that makes you feel full, thereby helps in reducing weight.
The oleic acid in avocados helps to reduce cholesterol levels.

Half an avocado contains 3.4 grams of fibre, including soluble and insoluble.

It slows down digestion and helps keep blood sugar from spiking after a meal.

A diet high in good fats may even help reverse insulin resistance, which translates to steadier blood sugar long-term.

One cup of avocado provides almost a quarter of your recommended daily intake of folate, a vitamin which cuts the risk of birth defects. If you’re pregnant-or planning to be-avocados will help protect your unborn baby.

Avocados are very high in potassium, which supports healthy blood pressure levels.

A high folate intake is also associated with a lower risk of heart attacks and heart disease.
