Are avocados healthy?

Answer by  tface1000 (147)

Yes. They contain lots of potassium, as well as vitamins B6, C, E, and K. They have no cholesterol, are high in fiber, and are low sodium. They do have a somewhat high fat content, but it's unsaturated fat and contains no trans-fat. The nutritional benefits offset the fat content as long as you don't go overboard.

Avocados, albeit high in fat, has mainly monounsaturated fat so it won't cause clogged arteries. It's high in vitamin A and E as well. Avocados are also high in fiber so they add in keeping a person regular and when you eat them you don't get hungry as often. The fiber helps you to feel fuller longer.
