Mark's Daily Apple Wednesday, February 22, 2023 11:00 AM 8 Reasons You Need to Be Eating Avocado       Avocado is one of those foods that almost every dietary ideology agrees is good for you. Vegans, vegetarians, paleos, Mediterranean diet espousers, and keto diet fans all promote avocados as a "good fat." Even the USDA dietary committee wants people eating avocados. But most avocado discussion stops there. It's "good for you" and that's about all you hear about the avocado. I'm as guilty as the next man, seeing as how my main focus is on avocado oil used as the basis of most Primal Kitchen products. But the human research convincingly shows that avocados—the whole fruit—are incredibly healthy and nutrient-dense additions to anyone's diet. Unless you have a specific reason for not eating them, you should be eating avocados oil on a regular basis. Here are seven evidence-based reasons why this is the case: 1. Avocados improve cholesterol What constitutes a healthy lipid profile is a subject of debate, but we can generally agree on a few principles: Higher HDL is usually better. Lower triglycerides are better. A lower LDL:HDL ratio is usually better. Increased LDL particle size is usually better. Less LDL oxidation is better. Eating avocados achieves all these improvements. In one human study, subjects were randomized to eat either an American diet, a standard "healthy" low-fat diet, a moderate-fat diet with most of the fat coming from sunflower and canola oil, or a moderate-fat diet with most of the extra fat coming from one large avocado a day. Only the avocado diet improved LDL:HDL ratio, increased LDL particle size, and reduced oxidized LDL. It was the clear winner over both the American, the seed oil diet, and the low-fat diet. Another similar study pitted avocado eaters against seed oil eaters. The fatty acid composition was identical in both diets, but only the avocado eaters saw reductions in oxidized LDL particles. In another study, Hispanic adults with high cholesterol were randomized to a high-carb vegetarian diet enriched with soybean and safflower oil or a high-carb vegetarian diet enriched with avocado (30% of total calories from avocado). The avocado group saw much better improvements in LDL, triglycerides, and HDL. 2. Avocados make meat healthier Some studies find that eating a hamburger patty by itself increases postprandial lipid oxidation and reduces endothelial function, while eating the same patty with a half avocado almost abolishes these effects and also reduces systemic inflammation. There are other issues at hand here, so don't freak out about a hamburger patty just yet, but it's probably is a good idea to have a few slices of avocado with your meat. Other herbs, spices, and phytonutrient-rich plant foods can also help here. 3. Avocados make meals more filling and satisfying Adding avocados to meals makes said meal both more filling and satisfying. This effect occurs whether the avocado adds calories or not. Even isocaloric meals, some with avocados, some without, show the effect. A meal with avocado is simply more satisfying and keeps a person fuller for longer. You aren't full because you're getting stuffed. You're … Continue reading "8 Reasons You Need to Be Eating Avocado" The post 8 Reasons You Need to Be Eating Avocado appeared first on Mark's Daily Apple.
