Teens who eat avocados have higher quality diets – Australian Avocados

September 29, 2022 By Paul

According to some research, teens eating avocados was connected with a higher quality diet, but it was not connected with body composition. Those that ate avocados were shown to also have an intake of fruits and vegetables. But there was no connection between the avocado consumption, and BMI score. Creating good eating habits is important in the teen years, because it’s a time they can fall into more risky nutritional behavior. But eating avocados can put them on the right path.

Key Takeaways:

  • One of the best things parents can do is educate their teens about avocado use in meals and snacks.
  • There has not been any association shown between the consumption of avocados and BMI score.
  • The teen years are some of the riskiest diet wise as that is where bad eating habits can start.
