Avocado - a natural weapon that helps regulate blood sugar, protect the heart and maintain your figure

THÙY DƯƠNG (T/H) |

Avocado is rich in healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber and minerals, which help regulate blood sugar, help reduce the risk of diabetes and protect the heart.

How much blood sugar do you eat avocado every day?

According to nutritionist Lauren Manaker (USA), nutritionist and dietetic expert, daily consumption of avocado can help lower fasting blood sugar levels and improve the body's insulin response. Avocado contains very little sugar, a lot of fiber and good fats, which helps blood sugar release more slowly, avoiding sudden spikes after meals.

Some epidemiological studies in the US have recorded: people who consume avocado 3 - 4 times a week have fasting blood sugar levels about 5 - 10% lower than the group who do not eat avocado. In addition, their insulin sensitivity is better, reducing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes over time.

Healthy cardiovascular system with magnesium and potassium from avocado

In addition to balancing blood sugar, avocados are also a rich source of magnesium and potassium, two minerals that play an essential role in regulating blood pressure and heart function. "Magdien supports glucose metabolism and improves insulin response; potassium helps maintain a stable heart rate and reduces pressure on blood vessel walls," says Lauren Manaker.

A diet that replaces refined carbohydrates with avocado and green vegetables has been tested in the obesity group: the results showed a reduction in LDL cholesterol, increased HDL and improved blood sugar index.

However, experts also note that eating too much avocado can increase energy intake. For people who need to control their weight or have kidney disease, they should eat about 1⁄2 avocado per day or follow the instructions of a medical professional.
