Avocado has 4 benefits:
Eye Protection (Zeaxanthin):
- Avocados contain zeaxanthin, which protects the eyes from harmful effects of excessive light exposure.
Leukaemia Prevention (Avocation B):
- Avocation B helps prevent leukaemia by destroying tissues that can lead to this type of blood cancer.
Prostate Cancer Prevention (Beta-sitosterol):
- The chemical beta-sitosterol in avocados is beneficial for preventing prostate cancer in men.
Brain Health & Mood Improvement (Folic Acid / Folate):
- 100 grams of avocado provides about 118 micrograms of folate, which reduces homocysteine, an inflammatory mediator.
- This improves blood circulation in the brain, protects it from damage, and supports the release of “happy hormones” that enhance mood.
