Did you know?

An avocado-focused meatless diet offers significant health benefits, primarily due to its high levels of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber, and essential nutrients like potassium and magnesium. This nutrient-dense diet supports cardiovascular health, improves satiety for weight management, aids digestion, and promotes nutrient absorption (especially vitamins A, D, E, and K).

The Nutrition Source
Key Benefits of an Avocado Meatless Diet

Heart Health & Cholesterol: Avocados are rich in monounsaturated fats that can help reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol and increase HDL (good) cholesterol, lowering cardiovascular inflammation and risk.

Weight Management & Satiety: Despite being calorie-dense, the combination of healthy fat and fiber in avocados helps you feel full for longer, which can reduce snacking and aid in weight loss.

High Nutrient Intake: They are packed with essential vitamins (B, K, C, E) and minerals, including more potassium than a banana, which helps lower blood pressure and manage fluid balance.

Improved Digestion: High fiber content promotes a healthy gut microbiome, keeps you regular, and prevents constipation.

Skin, Eye, and Cognitive Health: Avocados contain antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which are critical for eye health, reducing cataracts, protecting against UV damage, and supporting cognitive function.

Enhanced Nutrient Absorption: Including avocados with vegetables can increase the body's absorption of fat-soluble nutrients like carotenoids.
Blood Sugar Control: Their low-carbohydrate, high-fiber, and healthy-fat profile makes them an excellent, stable food choice for managing blood sugar.

An avocado-focused plant-based diet is highly effective for reducing the risk of metabolic syndrome and promoting overall metabolic health.

Rich in Antioxidants: Protects against cell damage, reducing risk of cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative conditions.

Brain Function: Polyphenols support nerve growth factors, potentially helping brain cells last longer.

Bone Health: May aid in bone mineralization and density maintenance.

Digestive Health: Smooths bowels and supports healthy gut microbiota.

Skin & Hair: Vitamins E & K, plus antioxidants, help hydrate skin and protect against damage.

Liver Health: Can decrease fat accumulation in the liver and improve insulin sensitivity.

Applying magnesium oil on the bottom of feet and behind the knees before bed will help you to sleep.

Applying oil, especially magnesium oil or carrier oils for essential oils, to the soles of your feet before bed is a popular practice for relaxation and better sleep, as the feet have large pores and fewer oil glands, promoting skin absorption for benefits like reduced muscle tension and calming the nervous system.

Applying magnesium oil behind the knees is effective for muscle relief, relaxation, and potentially reducing joint pain/inflammation because it's an area with thin skin for better absorption, and the oil helps with muscle cramps, stiffness, and circulation.
