Notes: Avocado is a huge power source in disease prevention, known for prostate cancer prevention, breast cancer prevention and stroke prevention. As well good for eye health, lower cholesterol, heart health, and research has found that certain nutrients are absorbed better when eaten with avocado. In one study, when participants ate a salad containing avocados, they absorbed five times the amount of carotenoids (a group of nutrients that includes lycopene and beta carotene) than those who didn't include avocados. Lastly avocados are an excellent source of glutathione, an important antioxidant that researchers say is important in preventing aging, cancer, and heart disease. The most calories come from the nuts and avocado – but remember these are good fats not like from a chocolate bar. Nuts are one of the best plant sources of protein. Nuts are rich in fiber, phyto-nutrients and antioxidants such as Vitamin E and selenium. Nuts are also high in plant sterols and fat - but mostly monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (omega 3 - the good fats) which have all been shown to lower LDL cholesterol.
