DWM Fatty Fruits Can Reduce Heart Attack Risk
Eating at least two servings of avocado a week can reduce the risk of having a heart attack by 21% when compared to avoiding or rarely eating avocados—according to a new study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association. But that’s not all.
According to CNN, “In addition to looking at the overall impact of eating avocados, researchers did statistical modeling and found consuming half a serving of avocado (¼ cup) a day instead of the same amount of eggs, yogurt, cheese, margarine, butter or processed meats (such as bacon) lowered the risk of heart attacks by 16% to 22%.
‘The full benefit of routine avocado consumption observed here derives from swapping avocado into the diet, and less healthful foods out,’ said Dr. David Katz, a specialist in preventive and lifestyle medicine and nutrition, who was not involved in the study.
However, the study did not find a difference in risk reduction when a half-serving of avocado was replaced with an equivalent serving of nuts, olive and other plant oils. That makes sense, Katz said, because the health benefits are dependent on what food is replaced...
Although avocados are ‘particularly rich sources of monounsaturated fat, polyunsaturated fat and fiber,’ they can also be pricey and therefore not readily available to all, Katz said. Similar substitutes could include walnuts, almonds, olives, olive oil and a variety of seeds such as pumpkin and flax, he said.”
