What are avocados good for?

Guacamole: Just kidding, but this is a good source of protein, carbs, and vitamins. See your doctor for construction of a diet that is right for you.

Avocados are good!: Avocados contain all the essential Amino Acids the body needs to make a complete protein. Also they provide monounsaturated fats your body needs -- these raise your HDL cholesterol, which keeps your triglycerides in check & prevent diabetes. Carotenoids in avocados protect your eye health, plus the functioning of your immune and reproductive systems. Oleic acid in them protects heart. Enjoy!
