Avocado health benefits

This is my first time eating avocado while I'm watching tv hehe.. it just a simple mixture of mashed avocado with milk and sugar and it tastes good. I tried to research on the help benefits and some nutrition facts on avocado, now that I'm suffering from digestive problems, i discovered that Avocado may help in the treatment of certain digestive problems, big help for me ! To convince you more that avocados are healthy, here's some health benefits that I've found on the web.

1. Avocado has been used traditionally to help people with sexual problems.
2. Great antioxidant and can be used for skin disorders.
3. The brighter the fruit, the more beta-carotene (the substance that helps to prevent breast cancer as well as prostate cancer) your avocado contains.
4. Aside from prostate cancer, one of the biggest benefits of avocado is to provide defense against oral cancer. There are certain compounds found in avocados that have the ability to look for pre-cancerous cells in the body and destroying them before they develop into a full-grown cancer.
5. Avocado will aid healing for people suffering from digestive and circulatory problems
6. Another benefit of avocado for the skin where avocado paste can be applied to rashes and rough skin to make it smoother.
7. It contain “oleic acid”, a monounsaturated fat that may help lower cholesterol.
8. It is a good source of potassium, a mineral that helps regulate blood pressure.
9. Avocados are a good source of dietary fiber. They contain vitamin A, vitamin K, Vitamin C, Folate, Iron and calcium.
10. When dieting, avocados can be beneficial because they are high in fat. The fat content is believed to make dieters feel full quicker and eat less saturated fats and sugar and lot more ....
