3. Why They Are a "Superfood" (2026 Perspective)
-
Nutrient Booster: Eating avocado with a salad or "salad oil" (as we discussed) actually helps your body absorb fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) and antioxidants from the other vegetables.
-
Metabolic Flexibility: Because they are so low in sugar and high in fiber, they are the "holy grail" for the 16:8 Intermittent Fasting schedule you asked about earlier. They keep you full for hours without causing an insulin spike.
-
Eye Health: They are rich in Lutein and Zeaxanthin, which act as internal "sunscreen" for your eyes, protecting against blue light and age-related damage.
