Here's a fact: You do not need to avoid avocado because it has a high fat content. On The Sliding Slides gives you the full lowdown.

Avocados offer vitamins and minerals in every serving, including potassium, which helps control blood pressure, and lutein, which is good for your eyes. They are low in sugar and contain fiber, so help you feel fuller for longer.

And, yes, avocados are high in fat. But it's monounsaturated fat, which is known as a good fat that helps lower bad cholesterol, as long as you eat them in moderation.

So whip up a delicious guacamole dip, chop avocado into your salad, tuck them into a wrap - enjoy these green delights any way you like.
