Avocados

Avocados are known as a superfood that can benefit people with high risks of congestive heart failure and heart disease. These fruits contain a lot of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats that have been associated with reduced risk of heart conditions and lower cholesterol levels in the blood. Adding avocadoes to the diet can be especially helpful for obese and overweight people. They provide sufficient calories and nutrients while still reduce LDL cholesterols. The combination of these effects can provide ultimate protection. Another benefit of avocados is the high amount of potassium, an important nutrient that is important to heart health. On average, an avocado can provide nearly 30 percent of the daily recommended intake of potassium. [3]
