Beauty Inside/Out: Avocado

Avocado

Although it has gotten a bad reputation over the years because of its fat content, the truth is that many don't understand that avocado is loaded with good monounsaturated fat. This is the same fat that is readily found in olive oil. Avocados are high in the lutein antioxidant that is good for the eyes, hair and skin, and beta-sitosterol which is a phytosterol that lowers cholesterol. Thankfully neither a big toxin risk nor significant blood sugar effects, avocados are rich in fiber (11-17g), potassium, folate, vitamin A, calcium, B vitamins, phosphorus, vitamin E, glutathione and carotenoids.



Beauty Benefits - The vitamin E in avocado softens the hair and skin, and it is an essential ingredient in a variety of beauty products. Avocado leaves the skin with a glow because of its rich and oily texture.
