So much for an apple a day: a new study suggests a daily avocado could help overweight people lower their cholesterol.
Researchers had overweight people follow a reduced-fat diet for five weeks, but assigned one group to include avocado in their diet.
They found, those on a moderate-fat diet with avocado had the biggest decrease in bad cholesterol.
The researchers say, simply adding avocados to your existing diet isn’t enough, but the findings show, incorporating them into a healthy diet can yield positive results.
