What happens if you eat avocado every day?

Most of the bacteria in our body are in the gut. There are said to be more than 1000 different types. But don’t worry, because most of them prevent the development of microbes and infections and are actually good for us. Normally, we have four times more beneficial bacteria than harmful ones in the gut, although even the harmful ones can sometimes be beneficial. What’s important is their ratio. Recent studies have confirmed that there’s one fruit (or vegetable) that changes this ratio.

That’s avocado.

Avocado not only increases the number of beneficial bacteria, but also improves gut flora, reduces the amount of bile acid, increases fatty acids in the stomach, and acts like acetate (acetates enhance flavors; tocopheryl acetate is a form of vitamin E...).

After four days of regular avocado consumption, there’s a noticeable increase in the diversity of good gut flora, which can significantly reduce problems related to cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. It also helps reestablish gut balance (this is especially important when you overindulge in overly acidic food and drink during the holidays), and it also reduces inflammation.

How much avocado does a human body need?

Of course, too much avocado for a long period isn’t good, because the body gets used to it and you can have problems when you stop eating it every day. Research says that the average woman needs 140 grams of avocado per day, and a man needs 175 grams (if you weigh 10% more than what’s normal for your height, increase the amount of avocado by the same percentage).

It’s best to add avocado to your usual dishes, but don’t expect miracles. The best results come from combining it with a balanced diet and moderate daily activity. As mentioned: keep it up for more than 4 days, then after 1 week take a break for a week. Then you can continue in the same rhythm.
