HEALTH BENEFITS OF AVOCADO

Image
Avocado is a rather unique type of fruit.Most fruit consists primarily of carbohydrate, while avocado is high in healthy fats. Avocado is referred to as this “nature’s butter,”  I guess it isn’t hard to figure out why it was called that. Creamy, enriched with healthy fat and easy to spread, it doesn't require any special preparation before eating it, which can be plain, as a salad combination or with a toast. The main type of fat that you’ll find in avocado is oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat.

The marks form in the dermis, the middle layer of skin that allows it to retain its shape. When constantly stretched, the dermis can break down, leaving stretch marks behind.
