Mention avocado and the first thing that comes to mind is guacamole ! However, avocados are more than just guacamole… Athletes pay close attention – this rich green fruit can help enhance your athletic performance. Avocados are a healthy source of mono-unsaturated fat, which is known as the heart healthy fat. These fats help absorb vitamins from foods including vitamins A, D, E, and K which enables the body to utilize them. Avocado’s Benefits for Athletes:
Athletes, the take home message is clear: avocados are an all-purpose fruit. Toss some slices onto your salad, smoothie to get the most vitamins and minerals or add a few slices to your sandwich to give it an extra boost of nutrition. Next time avocados are in season, enjoy them for their taste and their health benefits: nutrient absorption, electrolyte balance and post-workout recovery !!
