When you have an active lifestyle, chances are you have an active appetite too! California Avocados are naturally sodium-free and cholesterol-free, and due to its mono and polyunsaturated fat content, is a great substitution for foods rich in saturated fat. According to the American Heart Association, mono and polyunsaturated fats, when consumed in moderation and eaten in place of saturated or trans fats, can help reduce blood cholesterol levels and decrease risk for heart disease. Avocados provide "good" fats (0.5g Poly and 3g Mono per 1 oz. serving). Before that next workout, try this Power Smoothie from the California Avocado Commission. Drink Up!
