Calling all guac addicts: Avocados keep you thin, protect your vision, and may even prevent cancer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

1 Eye opener<\/strong>
Protect your vision with a few slices of avocado at lunch or dinner. Avocados are rich in lutein<\/a> and zeaxanthin, antioxidants found in the retina that keep eyes healthy; they also may help prevent age-related problems, like cataracts and macular degeneration<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2 Cancer fighter <\/strong>
Extracts from avocados kill or stop the growth of precancerous cells that lead to oral cancer<\/a> and may have a similar effect on other cancers, according to a recent study. Researchers credit the fruits unique combo of nutrients—which include folate<\/a> and vitamins C and E.<\/p>\n

3 Nutrient booster<\/strong>
Add avocado to salsa for a bigger health payoff. A study from The Ohio State University found that people absorbed four-and-a-half times more of the cancer-fighter lycopene from the tomatoes when avocado was added; the healthy fats help you absorb more nutrients.<\/p>\n

4 Healthier fat<\/strong>
Skip the mayo, and go for creamy avocado on your sandwich. It packs 4 grams of heart-healthy monounsaturated<\/a> fat (which lowers cholesterol), 2 grams of fiber<\/a>, and 1 gram of protein per ounce, making it a lower-fat, more-filling substitute for the white stuff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
