Avocado is a fruit with high nutritional value, containing a variety of vitamins and minerals and rich in fat. It is known as "Forest Cream". Generally eaten as a fruit, but also made into dishes and canned, avocado has many benefits.
1. Beauty our skin
Avocado pulp has good affinity with human skin, is easily absorbed by the skin, has strong absorption of ultraviolet rays, and is rich in vitamin E and carotene, so it has good skin care, sunscreen and health care effects.
Many people have widely used it in skin creams, facial cleansers, facial masks, sunscreens and other cosmetics.
2. Relieve diabetes
The sugar content of avocado pulp is extremely low, which is 1/5 of the sugar content of bananas. It is a rare high-fat and low-sugar food for diabetics. Drinking with avocado peel in water can relieve diabetes.
3. Anti-aging
Avocado is also a beauty fruit. It is rich in glyceric acid, protein and vitamins, and is a natural anti-aging agent. It not only softens and moisturizes the skin, but also reduces pores. Eating more avocados can form a milky barrier on the surface of the skin, which can effectively resist sunlight and prevent tanning and sunburn.
Avocado oil extracted from avocado kernels is rich in nutrients, rich in vitamin E, magnesium and essential fatty acids, which help to strengthen cell membranes and delay the speed of epidermal cell aging.
4. Nourishes hair
Avocado contains about 30% oleic acid. Oleic acid is a precious vegetable oil that can help us improve dry and frizzy hair and restore our hair to a moist and healthy state.
But no matter how good the fat is, we can't eat too much, otherwise it will lead to the accumulation of fat. The consumption of avocado should be based on your own constitution and control the total intake of fat and oil for the day.
There are so many nutrients in avocados, and there must be many people who can't wait to try them, and recommend some avocado eating methods.
1. Eat Directly
After cleaning the avocado, you can choose to cut the avocado in half, dig out the core in the middle, and then eat it with a spoon. People who are not used to this way of eating can peel the avocado, then dig out the core, cut it into cubes and eat it.
However, many people are not used to the taste of avocado, and feel that the taste is relatively bland, and eating too much will make it a little greasy. Then you can cut the avocado in half, dig out the core, scoop out the pulp with a spoon, and use a spoon to grind the pulp into a puree.
The flesh of avocados is very delicate and can be easily ground into a puree. Then you can add honey or sugar, mix well and eat.
2. Make jam and spread it on the bread
The pulp of avocado is very delicate, and when you eat bread in the morning, you will feel that the bread has no taste. At this time, you can choose to spread the avocado puree on the bread and eat it. If you like a slightly sweet taste, you can add a little honey or strawberries sauce on this basis.
If you eat bread in the morning, the nutritional intake is not comprehensive, mainly carbohydrates, and avocado supplements the intake of fatty acids, protein, and vitamins.
3. Make avocado salad
Light food is now popular to reduce fat intake, so many people like to eat salads. We can dice the avocado and eat it with other vegetables and fruits of our liking in our favorite salad dressing.
You can consider using half an avocado at a time, because a whole avocado is relatively high in fat. If you don’t mind eating too much fat, you can choose a whole avocado.
