Benefits of Avocados (Part 4 of 4)

Avocados can be considered a great fruit to be included in your diet. The vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats offered have a wide range of benefits from building immunity to strengthening bones and muscles. The folate you get from avocados may help to lower the risk of certain cancers, such as prostate and colon cancer.

Vitamin K in avocados can boost your bone health by slowing down bone loss and warding off osteoporosis. Folate also helps block the buildup of a substance called homocysteine in your blood. Homocysteine is responsible for slowing the flow of nutrients to your brain, increasing depression while vitamin E present in avocados lowers inflammation in your body.
