Avocado is a nutrient-dense superfood that contains a powerhouse of health benefits. Studies are now showing that natural foods such as avocado, that are filled with healthy fatty acids can even help to reverse certain diseases.
One study from 2015 discovered that a specific kind of leukemia cancer cell known as AML (acute myeloid leukemia) is killed by converting the infinite or non-death status to apoptosis (self-destruction), without causing any harm to the healthy biological and biochemical environment.
AML is a common type of acute leukemia found in adults and gets progressively worse if not treated. Potential risk factors include smoking, previous chemotherapy treatment and radiation exposure.
Healthy cells can undergo apoptosis and make room for fresh new cells to develop. Cancer cells aren’t programmed for apoptosis, but they’re programmed to last forever and to expand and this is loosely considered an infinite cell life.
Converting cancer cells into programmed apoptosis is more characteristic of natural alternative methods of killing cancer cells. In this way, cancer cells are targeted for destruction, while healthy cells remain intact. This means that following a healthy lifestyle and eating natural fruits and vegetables can potentially have a beneficial impact on disease prevention.
Unfortunately, Big Pharma studies do not recognise the health benefits of eating natural foods such as avocado. They do nothing to show its safety and effectiveness for treating Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), only continue to offer weak clinical outcomes.
Avocados are however one of the best fruits you can eat for good health and disease prevention. As an excellent source of healthy fats, they are also loaded with fiber, folate, Vitamin K, Vitamin B6, C and potassium. Eating avocados with other foods has also been shown to help with better absorption of nutrients including alpha and beta-carotene and lutein. Not only do they keep cholesterol levels healthy, they can also help with lowering your risk of heart disease.
Major Health Benefits of Avocados
- Abundant in monounsaturated fatty acids, avocados are rare in that they help your body to absorb important bioactive carotenoids, in combination with other fruits and vegetables that are vital for good health
- Rich in oleic acid, this is associated with reduced inflammation and has beneficial effects on cancer
- Avocados have a low glycemic index score, so should not raise blood sugar levels
- Rich in vitamins and minerals including Vitamin B6, Copper, Vitamin C, E, Folate, K1 and Potassium
For best results, Robert Redfern recommends eating 2 avocados a day for good heart health and to get the most from their anti-inflammatory properties.
