  1. Avocado Healthy fat Don’t let the high fat content discourage you from adding avocados to your diet. Avocado fat components actually regulate inflammation, increase the absorption of important nutrients like carotenoids, and reduce the risk for heart disease. Preparation tips Try adding avocado or avocado oil to your salads and salsas—it will increase the absorption of carotenoid antioxidants. These carotenoids are concentrated within the dark green portions, underneath the skin. To optimize your carotenoid consumption, use the “nick and peel” method demonstrated below. Essentially, you would be peeling an avocado like you would a banana. Percent Daily Values in 1 Cup of Avocado Sources: whfoods.org californiaavocado.com
