Because of the high-fat, avocados are often blamed for Fattening. That's not true. If our diet is laden calories, eat avocado or any food would have been easy to gain weight. If we are good diet, eating avocados do not need to be a problem. Moreover, avocados contain healthy fats.
Avocado is one of the main fruits that contain high fat (about 6.5 percent), but the fat is monounsaturated fat, which is commonly known as omega-9. This type is able to lower bad cholesterol (LDL) effectively, especially if we also limit the consumption of saturated fats.
The effectiveness of avocado in lowering levels of "bad cholesterol" is also supported by the high fiber content. Soluble fiber in the avocado will absorb excess "bad cholesterol" and throw it with waste food. A medium-size avocado contains 10 grams of fiber. Ate a course already meets 40% of adequate intake of fiber a day.
Avocados are rich in potassium minerals. Half a medium-size avocado contains 548 mg of potassium, 15 percent higher than the content of potassium in a banana. Potassium can relieve high blood pressure, pulse control, and maintain the health of the nervous system.
The combination of "good fats", fiber, and potassium make avocado able to prevent invasive disease caused by hypertension and excess cholesterol, in particular stroke and heart disease. Diabetics can also reap these benefits to cut the risk of the same, which is often a complication.

Avocado & Cholesterol Facts
Research conducted by a cardiologist in Queensland, Australia, found that consumption of avocado (1 per day) can substitute low-fat diet to lower cholesterol. The study was conducted by comparing women who were given a diet high in carbohydrates but low in fat with other women who were given a diet high in avocados for 3 weeks. Avocado is eaten or smeared on bread or crackers. The results of these studies indicate cholesterol dropped an average of 4.9 percent in the first group and 8.2 percent in the second group. Low-fat diet did not reduce levels of bad cholesterol, and even lower levels of good cholesterol to 14 percent. This is especially true at very low fat diet. Conversely, eating avocados can lower bad cholesterol.
Saturated fatty acid content in avocados is 2.13 g/100g, while monounsaturated fats is reach 9.8 g/100g. Consumption of fatty acids present in avocados, can actually improve cholesterol levels and protect damage to the arteries (blood vessels). Fat avocados also contain polyunsaturated fatty acids with levels of 1.82 g/100g. The benefit is equal to that of sea fish. Consumption in an amount sufficient to provide optimum health benefits for the body. Fatty acids are found in avocados is oleic acid (such as fatty acids contained in the almond and olive oil). Oleic acid is an omega-9 fatty acids which can lower total cholesterol and LDL (bad cholesterol), but instead increase the HDL (good cholesterol).
Avocados also can increase the absorption of carotenoid compounds in the intestine, such as beta-carotene and alfakaroten, which are antioxidants. So, assuming that the avocado should be avoided for people with high cholesterol or fat is not true.

The Relevance Of Avocado And Cholesterol.
I am a person who is said by a doctor with high blood sugar and cholesterol. It is often not feeling my body, felt pains in the joints of bones and shoulders. Whether it was the reaction of the disease? How do I get rid of, because every night I could not sleep because of pains? Are avocados contain lots of cholesterol (may I consumed)? This is a piece of the patient to the doctor's questions about the relevance of avocado and cholesterol.
Generally, if high cholesterol, sore feeling felt in the shoulders, hump and neck. Sometimes, often accompanied by headache. It is caused by lack of proper diet and rarely exercise. Other indications that showed high cholesterol is to look at the finger tip segment, which will look more red in color or darker than knuckle under it. The darker color indicates higher cholesterol levels. Or, your palms are red, swollen and contained visible blue veins.
Cholesterol is known as a major cause of atherosclerosis. As a result, blood vessels, particularly the coronary arteries, become narrow and block blood flow in it. This situation may increase the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke. Increased cholesterol also occur due to decreased spending on cholesterol to the intestine via the bile acids, or the production in the liver increased. Cholesterol tends to increase in people who are overweight, lack of exercise, stress, and heavy smokers. Its derived from fat is a substance that is useful to perform bodily functions. As a source of energy, fat provides the highest calories. One gram of fat produces 9 calories, while carbohydrates only 4 calories.
About 80 percent of the cholesterol produced by the body, the rest from foods. In contrast, unsaturated fats from plants, such as soybean oil, not much effect on improving blood cholesterol.
There is a tendency, you not only have cholesterol, but also uric acid or gout. The pain is in almost all the joints is the effect of high levels of uric acid. Excessive levels of uric acid in the blood leads to accumulation of uric acid crystals. If the accumulation of crystals were formed at the joint fluid, then there was uric acid. If the accumulation occurred in the kidneys, will appear kidney stones uric acid, which is often referred to as kidney stones.
While simpton for sugar, usually quick to feel thirsty and hungry, often feel tired and sleepy. But, not related to pain in the joints. Try to check the radius of the first segment, right under your fingernails, if the color is darker than the color of knuckle under it, means you have a high sugar levels.
The best way to cope is to lower blood glucose, cholesterol and uric acid to normal portions. This can be done with fasting, fasting is the most effective way to restore organ function as they are, in addition serves to detoxify, removal of toxins in the body. You can also consume herbs such as Herba Tea or Tea asiatica, which could shed cholesterol, glucose and uric acid as well. You also must be diligent exercise, at least 30 minutes a day.
Avocados do contain cholesterol, but the good cholesterol (HDL), therefore, very safe to be consumed by people who suffer from high cholesterol though. Avocados contain folic acid, pantothenic acid, niacin, vitamin B1, vitamin 86, vitamin C, vitamin E, phosphorus, iron, potassium, magnesium, and glutathione, also rich in fiber and monounsaturated fatty acids. The content that is capable of lowering levels of triglycerides and blood cholesterol.

Avocado And Bad Cholesterol
With carrots and avocados my cousins blood cholesterol levels returned to normal. He admitted that he got a prescription from a sines practicing near his office. This 32-year-old man makes his own herb medicine. Five medium-size carrots washed, and then blended, then squeezed and filtered, then drink as well. The next two ripe avocado fruit is eaten as a dessert.
My cousin did every morning. The results on periodic checks last month, total cholesterol 180 mg / dl and triglycerides 170 mg / dl. Whereas previously, total cholesterol 270 mg / dl, triglycerides were 350 mg / dl.
Cholesterol is an important element in the bile that is able to digest fat, and in all membranes, especially the cells in the brain and nerve cells. When excess, cholesterol can cause damage.
Cholesterol is derived from fat, which is a substance useful for the functioning of the body. Which consists of fat ingested saturated fat and unsaturated fat.
Fat with carbohydrates in the body will be processed into a compound called acetyl coenzyme-A. From these compounds form several important substances, such as fatty acids, triglycerides, and cholesterol fosfolpid.
Fat in the blood consists of several types, namely cholesterol, triglycerides, phospholipids, and free fatty acids. The first three types bind to each other is called the lipid-protein or lipoprotein. Lipoprotein is divided into five sections, namely chylomicrons, very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), intermediate density lipoprotein (IDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL).
Of the five types it is important to know is LDL, which is often called bad cholesterol because its effects are arterogenik (easily attached to the walls of blood vessels), causing accumulation of fat. While HDL is good cholesterol that has the effect antiarterogenik.
A number of medicinal plants are proven to lower cholesterol and triglyceride, avocado helps the process of plaque stabilization that has been formed, so not easily broken. Avocados contain folic acid, pantothenic acid, niacin, vitamin B1, B6, vitamin C and E, phosphorus, iron, potassium, magnesium, and glutathione. Avocados are also rich in fiber and monounsaturated fatty acids. The content is able to reduce levels of triglycerides and high blood cholesterol.
