Guacamole casero – Homemade guacamole

Why is it healthy?

This is healthy because avocado is a tropical fruit that helps reduce cholesterol and triglycerides and because of it containing an important amount of monounsaturated fats it helps augment good cholesterol in the blood. Moreover, it is a great natural antioxidant because of its richness in vitamin E, although it’s also rich in vitamins C, K and B6. In addition, it also provides potassium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus and fibre.

Other ingredients that guacamole contain such as tomatoes, lemons, cilantro and onions help fight inflammation, better insulin sensibility and reduce cholesterol quantities in the blood. They are also used as natural antibiotics, to favour digestion and better the immune system.
