Avocado Oil

With all the latest buzz surrounding coconut oil and it's wonderful health benefits, we have done some digging to bring you yet ANOTHER natural source of healing and beauty: avocado oil. What if we told you, that you could reduce cellular damage, reduce inflammation, boost antioxidant absorption by 400%, decrease body fat AND protect your liver? Wouldn't that be enough incentive to take another look at this simple yet amazing cooking oil? We think so! Cooking oil may not come to mind when you think about inflammation, but it should. In fact, the types of fats and oils you use every day have a big impact on the level of inflammation in your body.
Avocado oil fights inflammation and protects the heart from the daily stress it encounters. If you want to protect your heart and reduce physical aging, then your first priority should be to reduce inflammation. Many common cooking oils – like vegetable oil, safflower oil, corn oil and other so called “healthy” oils – increase the inflammatory factors associated with most chronic diseases including heart disease, diabetes, cancer and Alzheimer’s. Enter avocado oil. Boasting high levels monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) – the fats associated with the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet – avocado oil helps to reduce harmful levels of inflammation in the body.But the MUFAs don’t deserve all the credit. Avocado oil also contains high levels of oleic acid, carotenoids, lutein, vitamin E and phytosterols that combat inflammation too. And if you’re concerned about heart disease and stroke, there’s another way avocado oil can help. 
The phytosterols in avocado oil help to lower total and LDL cholesterol levels. But avocado oil doesn’t just help reduce cholesterol, it also protects cholesterol, which is far more important. You see, healthy cholesterol isn’t the cause of heart disease. It is damaged or oxidized cholesterol that increases the risk of dangerous plaques that lead to heart attack and stroke. A recent study of more than 3,000 men and women found that enjoying a MUFA-rich diet can help reduce damaged cholesterol by almost 20%. 
Avocado oil can also help to get rid of stubborn belly fat and fight diabetes. Belly fat is the annpyance for many of us, not to mention a big risk factor for chronic diseases including diabetes, metabolic syndrome, heart disease and cancers. Belly fat is an ugly symptom of a diet rich in carbohydrates and sugars. After eating these foods, blood sugar rises, triggering the production of insulin. The job of insulin is to escort sugar out of the bloodstream and into the muscles, where it can be used for energy. But once the muscle cells have had their fill, sugar gets stored somewhere else – in your fat cells! Yikes!
