You usually don’t see ads for healthy foods on television, but avocados appear to be an exception. Eating avocado with meat can reduce the spike in inflammation one would normally receive. Research shows that peanuts offer similar benefits, reducing the negative effects of drinking a milkshake. Similarly, walnuts have been shown to be beneficial when eaten with salami and cheese. Avocados can have similar fat and calorie density as ice cream while producing less postprandial oxidative stress. Similarly, sugar in fruit is less problematic than added, processed sugar.
Key Takeaways:
- While eating meat with avocado the antioxidants can inhibit the oxidized fats from being formed.
- Even though high sugar and fat ladened foods might have the same calories as avocado they are not the same, performance-wise.
- Avocados are a matrix of phytochemicals and they do not cause oxidative damage.
