Benefits of Avocados

Avocado, commonly called as the butter fruit is the only fruit which contains fat. Avocados are generally used as vegetables but are more closer to the family of berries. This mild fruit is sometimes referred as an alligator pear and is a native of Mexico. A recent study finds that consuming one fresh avocado per day improves cognitive function in healthy adults. This is related to the increased levels of lutein in the brain and the eyes.
