Avocados are nutritious and delicious. A study of adult women found that people who ate one meal of avocado a day had significantly lower abdominal visceral fat after three months compared to another group of people who ate a similar feed but did not eat avocado.
Washington, D.C. (Merxwire) - The Guinness Book of Records lists avocado as the most nutritious fruit in the world. It is not only rich in high-quality fat but also has more than 20 kinds of nutrients and is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which are beneficial to the human body. But did you know that in addition to being eaten as a fruit, avocado can also be eaten as a dish to increase satiety, which is a good choice for modern people to keep fit and lose weight.
According to research, daily consumption of fresh avocado can improve abdominal fat distribution in women and reduce visceral fat content. The study, published in the international journal "Journal of Nutrition," involved 105 subjects aged 25-45, about 60 percent of whom were women, for a 12-week test. The subjects were randomly divided into two groups. One group ate fresh avocado at least one meal a day. The other group did not eat avocado but was given the same composition and calorie food and asked all testers not to change their diet during this period-activity intensity. The last two groups were compared for the numerical changes in abdominal fat and glucose tolerance before and after the test.
The results showed that women who ate avocado daily had significantly less visceral fat, including a lower ratio of visceral fat to subcutaneous fat. But this way did not change much for men, nor did the distribution of male fat change significantly.
The primary researcher, Professor Naiman Khan of Illinois Kinesiology, said that the study's primary purpose is not to lose weight, but to understand the effect of eating avocado on body fat through experiments, whether it can change subcutaneous fat and internal organs. Because human abdominal fat is mainly divided into two parts, the subcutaneous fat that accumulates under the skin, and the other is the visceral fat surrounding the internal organs. People with a higher proportion of visceral fat have a higher risk of diabetes.
The research team explained that fat and human health complement each other. Appropriate fat can protect human health, but an excessive amount will lead to different disease risks. Further development of the experiment will provide a clearer understanding of which types of people will most benefit from an avocado diet, providing valuable data not only for medical treatment but also to help patients reduce fat storage and the potential risk of diabetes.
Avocado is not only good for reducing body fat. Avocado, which belongs to "oil and nut seeds," is a food rich in natural oils and vitamins A, C, E, B groups, potassium, magnesium, etc. Nutrients, high nutritional value. It has been proven to reduce bad cholesterol, is suitable for heart health, and has the reputation of "one avocado a day keeps cholesterol away from me." Try it now if you didn't know avocados were so nutritious before!
