hey guys today we’re gonna talk about

the health benefits of the avocado okay

this thing is a superfood so let’s talk

about it so number one the amount of

nutrients is very very high there’s a

lot of potassium an average avocado has

between 500 to 800 or even eight hundred

and fifty milligrams of potassium which

is good for energy good for your blood

Sugar’s good for the heart it’s also

potassium is a physiological relaxer so

it’s gonna help you sleep at night it’ll

actually help lower blood pressure it

does a lot it has a full length which is

a B vitamin it’s loaded with vitamin C

vitamin K k1 the B vitamins b5 b6

vitamin e b2 like museum manganese zinc

b3 vitamin A in the preform of beta

carotene so it’s not actually retinol

but the precursor to retinol but all the

other fats in avocado help this

conversion so it’s loaded with fat

soluble vitamins which actually enhance

the absorption of other nutrients okay

number two it’s very keto friendly now

what makes things keto is how many

carbohydrates they have so per cup and

avocado has about 12 grams of

carbohydrate but we’re gonna take the

net carbs so we’re gonna - the fiber

which is 10 grams of fiber per cup

giving us a net carb of 2 grams per cup

so this is an incredibly keto friendly

food 2 grams of carbs for this whole

thing so this should make right around

one cup number three it has high amounts

of fat 77 percent of this is actually

fat mostly mono saturated this could be

very friendly to your lipoproteins and

just so you know when you consume fatty

foods like this you’re not gonna gain

fat okay it’s not gonna happen alright

number four fiber and I’m gonna have to

kind of explain this a little bit

because all fiber is not the same you

have in Seibel fiber and you have Seibel

fiber okay so let’s just talk about it

because the fiber in avocado is mostly

75 percent

in Seibel so I have to explain it so

cyber fiber is fermented for your

microbes your microbes consume it okay

and then they make butyric acid which is

really good for your insulin levels and

your blood sugars and it’s food for your

colon cells so soluble fiber gels with

water whereas inside the fiber does not

cyber fiber slows down digestion inside

low fiber speeds up digestion so too

much of it can give you diarrhea too

much cyber fiber can give you

constipation especially if you don’t

consume enough water now I notice when I

eat a large salad I get thirsty I need

to drink more water well that is because

your body’s telling you we need to add

the water because in the dissolving

process it needs water now anytime

there’s fermentation there could be gas

involved and this is why I wanted to

explain this because there are two types

of insoluble fiber

okay there’s fermentable so I’m inside

the fiber and non fermenting insoluble

fiber so one type of fermenting inside

the fiber is resistant starch and the

reason I’m bringing this up is because

when you consume in resistant starch

which usually some potatoes it’s in the

bananas and it’s in some other foods as

well this could give you gas because

it’s fermentable by your microbes but of

course if you’re in keto you’re not

going to be consuming potatoes or

bananas okay so you don’t to worry about

that all you need to know is there’s

different types of fibers that are

influenced differently by your body and

with avocados it’s 75 percent in size

fiber okay the 25 percent can be used

for your bacteria all right lastly

phytonutrients okay this is an

additional health benefit going beyond

these nutrients right here so you have

carotenoids phytosterols oh and by the

way carotenoids being a very powerful

phytonutrient are fat soluble so when

you consume other fats with it you get

better absorption and the benefits of

phytonutrients are anti-inflammatory

anti-cancer antimicrobial and on top of

that they can really support your blood

triggers as well all right guys there

you have it the five health benefits of
