Avocados are berries that are grown in warm climates and their presence dates back a millennium. They originate from Central America but thanks to their high demand, they are now grown all over the world in countries like the Philippines and the United States of America. Despite being available on the market for centuries, they gained popularity only recently due to healthy recipes and low-fat diets that have been all the rave on social media.
After gaining so much attention, the fruit has also caught the eye of scientists who have discovered that avocados are not only delicious but also quite healthy and rich in good fats, vitamins, fiber, and minerals.
This brings us to the meat and potatoes of today’s discussion: what happens when you eat avocados on the daily?
1. Anti-aging Benefits
Since avocados are rich in healthy fats and other important nutrients, they happen to be great for your skin. Nutritionist Nicolette Pace mentions that if you want good and healthy skin, you need to stack up on the essential nutrients avocados offer—their high content of monounsaturated fats and fatty acids are a must for healthy skin and are known to slow down aging.

2. Goodbye Stress
Low levels of magnesium can result in stress-inducing headaches, hyper-emotionality, and anxiety. Avocados, on the other hand, happen to be rich in magnesium, which is a great anti-stress nutrient. It can also help in releasing tension and improve your sleep quality.
3. Losing Weight
Avocados are quite dense in texture and thus, eating them makes for quite a filling meal. This is because avocados are rich in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats that add to the satiety. If you feel full after eating less, you’re bound to shed some pounds.
