Are avocados good for you, especially if you're anemic?

Yes and no : Avocados are high in calories, but contain very little iron. If you are anemic and a young menstruating female then you may be iron deficient. However, do not assume that is the cause if your anemia. You should see a competent physician for an evaluation.

Avocados are health: The average Avocado has 13.5 grams of fiber, 4.02 grams of protein, 322 calories & monosaturated fat. It contains vitamin B6, folic acid, vitamin E, glutathione beta-sitosterol which helps to decrease cholesterol levels and both polyphenols & flavonoids which are anti-inflammatory. However, don't expect it to fix your anemia.
