I think this post will be my second blog on Healthy Fats and that's because I cannot get enough of it + I want you to feel just as comfortable as it is so nutritious for our bodies.
Today we're talking the good, the bad, and the types I'm a big fan of-- obviously one being, AVOCADO.

It's one of the world's most perfect foods. It's incredibly delicious and so versatile; can be used for dips, dressings, sauces, smoothies, soups, desserts, and yummy to add to salads, sandwiches, stuffed with other veggies, etc.
It's also easily digested and contains over 25 essential nutrients including:
iron, copper, magnesium, and essential fatty acids that help the body function optimally. They increase the body's ability to assimilate nutrients, so they are a wonderful addition to green leafy salads to ensure proper absorption of all vitamins and minerals.
They are an excellent source of glutathione, which helps to boost the immune system, strengthen the heart, rebuild the nervous system, and slow the aging process. The monounsaturated fats in avocados reverse insulin resistance, which helps to steady blood sugar levels.
Due to its nutritional profile, avocado is one of the closest foods to mother's great milk {being a complete and easily assimilated food with protein ratios that are equal to breast milk}.
Try adding a couple of avocados to your diet each week and enjoy the benefits of this delicious and health-promoting superfood!
