4 groups of people should limit eating too much avocado

Tuấn Đạt (Theo Health) |

Avocado is very nutritious and has many health benefits, but not everyone can eat too much of this fruit.

Avocados (Persea americana) are known as an important source of monounsaturated fats, fiber, vitamins and minerals for the body. But despite the many health benefits, eating too many avocados in a day may not be suitable for some people.

4 groups of people are advised by experts from the health website Health to limit eating avocados regularly.

Allergic to avocado

Some people are allergic to avocados, which can cause symptoms such as itching, rashes, difficulty breathing, or even anaphylaxis. In particular, people allergic to latex are at risk of cross-reaction to avocados, also known as “latex-fruit syndrome.”

Therefore, these groups of people need to avoid or limit avocado consumption to prevent reactions to the body.

Use of anticoagulants

Avocados may interfere with the effectiveness of some anticoagulant medications, such as warfarin. The vitamin K content in avocados may reduce the effectiveness of the medication, increasing the risk of blood clots.

People who are taking anticoagulants should maintain a stable amount of vitamin K in their diet and, if possible, consult a doctor before eating avocado properly and without affecting the effectiveness of the medication.

Liver problems

Although avocados contain many beneficial nutrients, some studies show that some Mexican avocados contain anethole and estragole - compounds that can cause liver damage if consumed in excess. Therefore, people with liver problems should consider using avocados to protect their health.

Weight control

Avocados are also known to be high in calories due to their high fat content. Although the fat in avocados is the type of fat that is good for the heart, consuming too much can lead to excess calories, which can lead to weight gain.

According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), an average avocado provides about 250 - 320 calories. Therefore, people who are in the process of losing or maintaining weight should control the amount of avocado consumed in their daily diet.

Digestive problems

Some people may have difficulty digesting the fiber and fat in avocados, leading to symptoms such as gas, bloating, or diarrhea. For those with sensitive digestive systems or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), consuming avocados may increase symptoms. Start with small amounts to see how your body reacts before increasing your intake.

FODMAP Diet

Avocados contain high amounts of polyol (sorbitol), a type of FODMAP that can cause discomfort for sensitive individuals. A low FODMAP diet is often recommended for people with irritable bowel syndrome, so these people should limit or avoid avocado consumption to help control their symptoms.
