  • Vitamin A - which is vital for healthy skin, bones and hair, and boosts the immune system.

  • Vitamins B1, B2 and B6 - which are vital for energy metabolism and can help with concentration.

  • Vitamins C and E - help protect against aging.

    • The vitamin B6 that avocadoes contain can help keep the nervous system in good condition, and can be of benefit to women suffering from PMS.

    Vitamins C and E are antioxidants that protect the body from free radicals that cause deterioration and aging, and vitamin E increases fertility. Surprisingly avocados also have more potassium than bananas!

    Another huge benefit is that these vitamins can also help combat depression.

    Aswell as being high in vitamins and minerals, avocados also contain no cholesterol or "bad" fats, like saturated or trans fats. They do however, contain mono-saturates which are good for you and extremely important in helping to lower LDL/bad cholesterol.

    Avocados are so rich in healthy goodness that just half of one will provide you with one of your five-a-day portions of fruit and vegetables.

    Another good thing is that they taste great!
