Here are some crucial health benefits of avocado that you just can’t overlook.

1. High nutritional value

Avocados have 20 different vitamins and minerals. They have high amounts of vitamins K, C, B5, B6, E, folate and potassium. Moreover, they also have small amounts of magnesium, manganese, copper, iron, zinc, phosphorous and vitamins A, B1, B2 and B3.

These nutrients are crucial for your child’s overall development like eyesight, brain function, memory and so on. It’s a low-carb and low-saturated-fat food with no cholesterol and sodium, making it all the more healthy.

2. Loaded with monounsaturated fatty acids

Avocado is a high-fat food but it contains the monounsaturated fat that is crucial for a healthy heart. Monounsaturated fat helps in lowering cholesterol and keeps your heart fit and running. 

The fat in avocado also helps in better absorption of plant nutrients.

3. Highly fibrous food

Fibre can help in weight loss and in maintaining healthy blood sugar levels. It also helps in lowering the risk of many diseases. Avocado contains 25% soluble fibre that helps in feeding the gut bacteria in your intestine. These are important in optimising your body’s functions.

4. Contains antioxidants

Avocado is rich in antioxidants that help keep your child’s eyesight healthy. It contains lutein and zeaxanthin that are crucial for good eye health.

Studies have revealed that these nutrients are connected with reduced cataracts and macular degeneration. Although these conditions occur in elderly people, an intake of avocado from an early age can keep your child’s eyesight sharp, preventing such conditions in the future.

So mums and dads, don’t forget to include this superfruit in your child’s diet for their overall healthy growth.
