Within the past few months, I have realized the need to add avocados to my diet. From good heart health to fighting cancer, this fruit has given me more than one good reason to add them to my “super foods” list.
When eaten with other foods, avocados will actually increase the nutrient absorption of those other foods. How cool is that?!
Here is a list of 10 other reasons I’ve added avocados to my diet.

Plenty of avacadoes here in Nicaragua when they are in season. I think they should be coming into season soon too so I will have to be sure to eat plenty of them! 🙂
That would be a very wise and healthy decision, Jonathan! 🙂
