We love avocados. And chances are you do too. It's the only fruit full of healthy monounsaturated fat, and it is made up of nearly 20 vitamins and minerals.  Nutritionists recommend eating avocados for:
An avocado seed actually makes up 18% of an avocado, and contains over 70% of the fruit's total antioxidant power. In fact, Food Chemistry published a study that showed that avocado seeds have a "much higher antioxidant activity and phenolic content than the edible portions." A recent Pennsylvania State University study showed that antioxidant compounds in avocado seeds may help lower cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and inflammation, and strengthen immune function. Research also points to the insecticidal, fungicidal, and anti-microbial properties of avocado seeds. Reduce Inflammation Chronic inflammation is the cause of many diseases, including arthritis, cardiovascular disease, stroke, and cancer. Inflammation instigates pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of joint mobility. Avocado seeds contain high concentrations of catechin and procyandin antioxidants that help to lower inflammation and its associated symptoms. Catechins and procyandins have also been found to help boost heart health and blood circulation. Ease Digestion South Americans have used avocado seeds as a digestive aid for centuries. Avocado seeds may help relieve dysentery, gastric ulcers, constipation, diarrhea, and other digestive complications. Because an avocado seed has more soluble fiber per ounce than almost any other fruit or vegetable, it helps satiate hunger and keeps you fuller for longer, perfect if you're trying to lose weight. Prevent Cancer  A 2013 study published in Pharmaceutical Biology from the University of Antioquia in Medellin, Columbia suggests that avocado seeds have some pretty powerful cancer-fighting properties. Research showed that an extract of the seed and fruit of Hass avocados helped induce apoptosis (cancer-cell death) in leukemia cells. Healthy cells were left undisturbed. Scientists attribute the anti-cancer potency of avocado seeds to a phytochemical called flavonol, which has been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer tumors.Clean Your Heart Avocados are high in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, and the seeds also contain amino acids and fiber that help lower cholesterol and prevent the accumulation of arterial plaque. Dr. Tom Wu, recipient of the "World Famous Doctor" award from the United Nations for his breakthroughs with diabetes and cancer, says: "This soluble fiber binds to the fat and excess cholesterol. Then we can lower cholesterol and improve heart function naturally. Soluble fiber is tough to get in our diet. Oatmeal has some, but it cannot compare with the avocado seed."

As you age, your skin loses the ability to produce the nutrients that protect it from the damaging effects of things like the sun's UV rays, pollution and free radicals. It also loses the ability to hold water in its cells. As a result, the skin begins to lose its firmness and elasticity, leading to wrinkles, sagging and dryness. There's no shortage of "anti-aging" skin care products on the market. But the fact is, most beauty creams — even many of the expensive ones — fail to address the two primary underlying causes of skin aging just mentioned. One way these creams "trick" you is by making the surface of your skin look smoother temporarily with harsh skin-tightening chemicals such as low-grade acids. Over time, these acids actually thin your skin, making it even more prone to dryness and wrinkles. Some of these products even contain a cocktail of toxic chemicals that not only accelerate skin aging, but are also absorbed into the bloodstream where they can affect organs inside your body. For example, parabens, which are estrogen-mimicking chemicals used widely in cosmetics as preservatives, have been linked to hormone disruption of the endocrine and reproductive systems. Phthalates, which are often hidden in products under ingredients names such as "fragrance," are another class of hormone-disrupting chemicals. Formaldehyde, another preservative, has been linked to skin irritation and serious health conditions. The good news is that recent advances in nutritional research are showing that it really is possible to protect your skin and even make it look younger — without harsh chemicals, Botox or surgery — by providing it with the nourishment and hydration your skin so desperately needs.
