People over 50 years of age should include avocados in their diet regularly.
This advice was given by Russian nutritionist Elena Solomatina.
An expert told Vechernyaya Moskva in a conversation about how avocados are useful for people over 50.
Why Avocado Is Good for People Over 50
As Solomatina explained, avocados contain a lot of healthy monounsaturated fats.
They have a positive effect on the immune, nervous and cardiovascular systems.
They improve the lipid profile, the condition of the skin and nails and prevent atherosclerosis, the expert added.
Secondly, avocados contain a large amount of magnesium, which is important for the nervous system, muscles, bones, and blood vessels.
Avocados also contain a lot of fiber, which improves the functioning of the digestive system.
Due to the large amount of potassium in avocado, it reduces the amount of salt that retains fluid in the body, the nutritionist noted.
In addition, avocado is rich in copper, which activates the production of collagen, which keeps the skin youthful.
As for contraindications, avocados should not be eaten if you have problems with the pancreas, allergies, or exacerbation of chronic gastrointestinal diseases.
