An avocado a day

We’ve shone a light on the avocado many a time – and now we have yet another reason to! New research from Penn State University has found that eating an avocado each day for six months lead to a decrease in unhealthy cholesterol levels. Interestingly, despite avocados being high in fat, the study showed that daily avocados didn’t have a negative effect on belly fat, liver fat or waist circumference. Looking to up your avo intake? Top on toast or add to a smoothie for breakfast, pair with a salad or eggs for lunch, or mix into a chocolate dessert for a healthy after-dinner treat.
