5 Suprisingly Healthy Foods
Yes, these luscious green fruits are full of fat. But most of it is the heart-healthy, monounsaturated kind that can help lower both total cholesterol and “bad” cholesterol. Avocados contain health-promoting carotenoids. They’re also rich in vitamin E and potassium, and contain some fiber to help fill you up.
As a huge fan of avocados, this doesn’t surprise me one bit, but it does make me want to go out and buy a couple hass avocados tonight. These buttery fruit, native of Mexico and Central America, are sometimes referred to as aguacate, which actually means “butter pear”. Guac anyone?
Also among the list is coffee, fatty fish (think salmon, tuna) and dark chocolate.
