25 Impressive Health Benefits of Avocado
High in Potassium
The significant levels of potassium make avocados a powerful fruit in the fight against hypertension. According to a research published in theJournal of Clinical Investigation, potassium-rich foods can reduce pathogenic vascular calcification, which is the hardening of arteries. Dr. Paul Sanders from the University of Alabama at Birmingham led the research which concluded that eating potassium-rich foods like avocados and bananas reduces the tension of blood vessels and arteries, regulating blood pressure.
