Avocados are high in valuable fats and appear to have a beneficial effect on blood serum levels. For a typical avocado:
- About 75% of an avocado's calories come from fat, most of which is monounsaturated fat.
- Avocados also have 60% more potassium than bananas. They are rich in B vitamins, as well as vitamin E and vitamin K.
- Avocados have a high fiber content among fruits - including 75% insoluble and 25% soluble fiber.
- A fatty triol (fatty alcohol) with one double bond, avocadene (16-heptadecene-1,2,4-triol), is found in avocado.
What's more: The Aztecs called the avocado tree ahuacatl or "testicle tree." While avocados can indeed look like that body part, they contain high levels of folic acid, which helps metabolize proteins, thus giving you more energy. Vitamin B6 (a nutrient that increases male hormone production) and potassium (which helps regulate a woman's thyroid gland), those two elements help increase libido in both men and women.
So benefit and pleasure all in one :)
