Avocado Oil

Avocado is a fruit that was cultivated by the Aztecs in Central America as early as five hundred years BC. Today, the largest producer in the world is Mexico.

Avocados bear fruit all year round. Avocado oil is obtained by cold pressing the pulp of the fruit. It has a low level of acidity and oxidation products, and maintains a high concentration of vitamin E. The chemical composition is very similar to the one of olive oil. It is very rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (82%), on which the main therapeutic effects of the oil depend. Avocado oil is also used in culinary and cosmetics.

It controls and alters blood cholesterol levels and protects the cardiovascular system. The oil contains a large amount of oleic acid which inhibits the absorption of cholesterol and triglycerides and prevents the transport of bad fat through the bloodstream. It stops the process of atherosclerosis and plaque formation. It lowers LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, but increases HDL cholesterol.

The avocado has a high concentration of omega 3 - it is anti-inflammatory and antidepressant. Then, it has a high content of soluble fiber - the highest amount of all other types of fruit, which improves the condition of the heart and the digestive system. The high levels of vitamins E, D and A - reduces the risk of high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's disease and some cancers. Due to its significant level of lutein - it protects the eyes from UV radiation and prevents macular degeneration which leads to vision loss.

It has a specific antioxidant effect - avocado oil can kill free radicals in mitochondria, which is not the case with any other antioxidant. Mitochondria are organelles that generate energy for all processes in the body and if damaged, disease and rapid aging can occur very quickly.
