Question

Are avocados bad for the gut?

Answer 1

Avocados:

1. Avocadoes have light green or yellow mesocarp (flesh) with a buttery consistency and nutty flavour.
2. They are rich in fibre, minerals (potassium, magnesium), and vitamins (vitamin C, K, E, riboflavin, niacin, pyridoxine) which help to boost digestive function.
3. Avocados are not bad for the gut.
4. Daily consumption of avocadoes increases gut microbes that help to break down fibre and produce metabolites that improve gut health.
