Many benefits!: Avocados are among the healthiest of foods! it is one of the best sources of vitamin k & a great source of plant sterols, carotenoids & other antioxidants & omega 3 fatty acids. Avocados reduce inflammation, likely help prevent heart disease, improve blood sugar regulation & bone health and probably prevent certain forms of cancer.
