Did you know the avocado is a stomach-friendly food? Most of us are aware that the avocado is rich in heart-healthy oils making it a good addition to our diets. But few people realize the same avocado that is good for your heart is also good for your stomach. This versatile food is exceptionally high in potassium, fiber, and the same heart-friendly oils are also stomach-friendly. The avocado when eaten on a regular basis is good for your digestive system, keeping waste moving along. A good way to get more avocado in your diet is to add thin slices to a sandwich or a salad. Use instead of fattening mayonnaise on sandwiches to increase a sandwiches' good-for-you status (using whole-grain bread will help with that, too!).
Note: Uninformed people may tell you that you shouldn't eat avocado because it is high in fat. The truth is that is heart-healthy fat! And like everything else, you eat in moderation!
