Avocados have been at the forefront of superfoods for years. And not without reason. Here are just a few reasons to add this fruit to your diet. Proven by science!

1 🥑Helps to lose weight🥑
Two types of adipose tissue are deposited in the abdominal cavity: subcutaneous fat and deeper visceral fat that surrounds the internal organs. The second type of fat increases the risk of type II diabetes. However, just one avocado a day can help women get rid of belly fat, according to scientists from the University of Illinois (USA).


2 🥑Reduces cholesterol🥑
Again, just one avocado a day can lower the level of "bad" cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein, or LDL) - the very one that is involved in the formation of atherosclerotic plaques and increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, scientists from Pennsylvania State University (USA) report. .

3 🥑Protects against cancer🥑
Scientists from the University of Guelph in Ontario (Canada) have discovered a compound in avocados that can suppress the growth of cancer cells in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Leukemia cells contain a large amount of the VLCAD enzyme, which promotes the growth of tumor cells. A group of researchers studied various foods and supplements in an attempt to find a substance that could inhibit the activity of VLCAD. And in the end, they found it: it turned out to be avocatin B, a molecule from the class of fats found in avocados.

Avocatin B has already been tested in the prevention of type II diabetes and the treatment of obesity
