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, in addition to reducing signs of aging such as wrinkles.

Avocado is rich in vitamin C, which 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 with post-workout rest and avoiding injuries.

Promotes brain function

Avocado products and the avocado itself are also a great help for memory and concentration. Its levels of folic acid and magnesium help prevent conditions such as depression and relieve the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.

Prevents heart diseases

Avocado also decreases what are known as blood markers that increase heart disease risks. Its healthy fat helps reduce “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 and store avocados

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 goes bad.

Avocado is one of the most delicate foods, so we recommend consuming it as soon as possible after you bring them home, especially if they are “ripe.” Once you open them and if you are not going to consume them completely, you can store them in the refrigerator.

A trick so that they do not get damaged while in the refrigerator is to sprinkle a few drops of oil around them and cover with aluminum foil. This will allow the avocado to maintain its color and texture so that you can consume it later.

At eva+avo we believe in the power of nature to promote healthier habits, through nutrient-rich products that you can include in your daily routine to make your hair look healthy, soft and shiny. Just like you've always wanted!
