Avocado decreases risk for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


(NaturalHealth365) An estimated 34 percent of U.S. adults have metabolic syndrome. Having this condition and its symptoms significantly increases the risk for type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, heart health problems and other conditions.  But, what does this have to do with eating avocado? (I’m glad you asked)

The symptoms of metabolic syndrome include high cholesterol, high blood sugar, elevated blood pressure and unhealthy BMI (body mass index). However, a new study has found that eating avocado benefits and offsets many of the detrimental effects of metabolic syndrome.

Avocado helps to improve the health of the heart and overall wellbeing

Research has already established that eating avocados assists in many areas of health, including managing lipid profiles, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, phospholipids and total cholesterol levels.

Avocados also contain health-promoting carotenoids, vitamins, minerals, phenolics and fatty acids. These compounds make avocados antihypertensive, antidiabetic, antithrombotic, antiatherosclerotic, anti-obesity and cardioprotective. The inner flesh of avocados seems to bring the most health benefits. (as opposed to its seeds, peel and leaves)

The recent avocado research was conducted by scientists at Mashhad University of Medical Sciences. Their results show that avocados can actually work to prevent metabolic syndrome.

Avocados prevent cardiovascular disease and diabetes by regulating cholesterol

The term “metabolic syndrome” refers to having at least three of the established risk factors for the disease, which include insulin resistance (when the body does not manage insulin efficiently), high cholesterol, high blood sugar, elevated blood pressure, and obesity/unhealthy BMI (body mass index).

Scientific researchers looked at 129 existing studies to assess the avocado benefits of specific parts of the plant. The flesh, seeds, leaves and peel were all tested in relation to various health conditions including type 2 diabetes, abnormal blood fat levels, obesity and high blood pressure.

It was discovered that eating avocados has the most significant impact on cholesterol levels, favorably affecting levels both HDL (“good”) and LDL (“bad”) cholesterol levels as well as triglycerides, phospholipids and total cholesterol numbers. Since cholesterol levels can in turn have a tremendous influence on blood pressure, heart health and obesity risk, avocado benefits numerous areas of health. Avocado has also been found to reduce the risk of blood clots.

Avocado is a true superfood that should be eaten more often

The study results seem to indicate that avocado is nothing short of a superfood. The researchers say that eating avocados daily could be of tremendous benefit, particularly to those at risk for metabolic syndrome. Its high unsaturated fat content contributes to a feeling of satiety that can help to reduce cravings, prevent obesity and maintain ideal weight.

Avocado is a versatile fruit that works well in both sweet and savory dishes. It can be blended with cilantro, garlic and lime to make guacamole dip. (Serve with cucumber slices, cut celery and other raw veggies instead of tortilla chips for a healthier snack alternative.)

And, finally, avocados can be sliced and served on salads, added to sandwiches and put into smoothies for a creamy texture. Try some today – you’ll love it!

One liter of milk does not correspond as an example, in no way to the nutritive powers carencing and very rare sufficient in its replacement, of boxes in boxes.
      Malnutrition, under-paid lumpen-proletarian illiteracy, (malnutrition most often imposed by precariousness, privileging these industrial junkies, deficient in essential natural nutrients), responsible in large part for diabetes.

      A lack of basic hygiene in all its manifestations, causes diabetes and pathogen in itself.
      Sub-carnogenic malnutrition originates mostly from meals too rich in lipids, with a digestion time of more than 6 to 8 hours according to their quantity, excess in animal protein, digestive assimilation requiring a high rate Of calories compensated by an over-feeding of these lipids, slow carbohydrates and immediate sugars, even extracting in the proteins of the reserves (this deficiency favoring the obesity and the morphology known as “fat”, with muscles developed more than greasy fat) Of noble and muscular tissues, vitals, noble organs and the nervous system, in order to digest them, if consumed at high rates, on a prolonged daily frequency enough to reveal a high level of sugars in the blood, since they are intended to assimilate Calories and ensure the metabolism of supersaturated, monounsaturated fats also, if absorbed at each meal in daily compensatory inanitions made by artifi Such as post-surgical sequelae, neurosurgery, patient or poorly assumed tumors. In addition to resuscitations to glucose perfusons. The toxic shock related to the starvation of the young preparatory to the surgical operation, alcoholic anesthetics, ethical surgical products including ethers, added to the strong alcohols of anesthesia, chloroform, Ether, creators in themselves of sensation of severe to deadly starvation, thus precipitating the organism in an insurmountable demand, of excess caloric foods, compensating for the brutal hunger and the advent of the death of anesthesia.
      Diabetes mellitus is dependent on the initial inverted diabetes.
