In addition, these small fruits contain many other useful substances: vitamins C, PP, B6, B2 and E, folic acid, provitamin A, dietary fiber, magnesium, copper, phosphorus and many other mineral components.

Regular inclusion of avocado in the menu contributes to:

• prevention of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases;
• reducing the level of "harmful" cholesterol;
• increase of stress resistance;
• lowering blood pressure;
• normalization of water-salt balance;
• improving blood composition;
• increased immunity.

because immature contains much less useful substances.
