Avocados are a great source of vitamins C, E, K, and B-6, as well as riboflavin, niacin, folate,
pantothenic acid, magnesium, and potassium. They also provide lutein, beta-carotene, and omega-3 fatty
acids.

Although most of the calories in an avocado come from fat, don’t shy away! Avocados are full of
healthy, beneficial fats that help to keep you full and satiated. When you consume fat, your brain
receives a signal to turn off your appetite. Eating fat slows the breakdown of carbohydrates, which
helps to keep sugar levels in the blood stable.
