avocado in nutrition
We start by telling you that including avocado in your diet is an excellent way to have healthy nutrition. Avocado aids in weight loss and can be of great help to those suffering from special conditions such as diabetes.
Its high level of fiber gives a feeling of satiety, while regulating the absorption of sugars. However, as it is a very caloric food, you should consume it in small amounts during the day. Something like half an avocado for breakfast or lunch.
Avocado is a very practical and easy to consume food. In addition, you can use it in different ways so that its consumption does not tire you, but rather you find a variety of preparations.
In salads
You can use your avocado in salads, combining it with other vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumber, to make a nutritious and healthy side dish that accompanies your proteins such as meat or chicken.
In smoothies or shakes
You can also drink avocado in delicious smoothies with a high level of protein. You can combine it with banana and spinach. Use your favorite milk.
You will achieve a healthy smoothie to start your day, taking advantage of all the nutrients of the avocado.

Avocado for general health
Does avocado cure diseases? Without a doubt, its benefits are many and it can be of great help to maintain optimal health and prevent many medical conditions.
Avocado and avocado products can help our body in many ways. We mention some:
Prevents premature aging
Avocado helps a lot to the health and appearance of our skin. Avocado products such as creams and oils can combat stretch marks and cellulite, as well as diminish signs of aging such as wrinkles.
Avocado is rich in vitamin C so it promotes collagen production to give your skin elasticity and firmness. Not to mention that it is a natural antioxidant that offers your skin nutrients to keep it hydrated and looking healthy.
Helps increase muscle mass
If you exercise regularly and are looking to build muscle mass, avocado can be a perfect ally. Eating avocado before your physical activity can promote muscle formation, as it is a food rich in fat, which makes it an excellent source of energy before exercise.
Avocado also provides magnesium, ideal for muscle contraction, and potassium, which helps in post-training rest and avoid injuries.
Promotes brain function
Avocado products and the avocado itself are also very helpful for memory and concentration. Its levels of folic acid and magnesium help prevent conditions such as depression and relieve symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.
Prevents heart disease
Avocado also lowers what are known as blood markers that increase the risks of heart disease. Its healthy fat helps lower "bad" cholesterol and triglycerides.
If you suffer from high blood pressure, avocado can also help you if you include it in your nutrition on a regular and balanced basis.
How to care for avocados and store them
It may have happened to you that you buy an avocado that is apparently ready to eat, but if you leave it for too long, it simply spoils.
Avocado is one of the most delicate foods, so we recommend consuming it as soon as possible after you bring it home, especially if it is “ripe”. Once you open them and if you are not going to consume them completely you can store them in the fridge.
A trick so that they are not damaged when they are in the fridge is to sprinkle a few drops of oil around them and cover them with aluminum foil. This will allow the avocado to maintain its color and texture so you can consume it later.
Visit our store and know in detail all the products we have created taking advantage of many of the benefits of avocado. We believe that avocado products are ideal for your well-being and for leading a healthier lifestyle.
At eva+avo we believe in the power of nature to promote healthier habits, through products rich in nutrients that you can include in your daily routine to make your hair look healthy, soft and shiny. As you have always wanted!
