Avocado is known for its wonderful taste, but also for its anti-inflammatory properties, the healthy fat it contains and its contribution to heart health. Researchers from Penn State University's Department of Nutritional Sciences examined how a food-based intervention that includes one avocado daily can help address poor diet quality.
Poor overall diet quality has been linked to risk for conditions such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes and kidney disease. By improving people's adherence to dietary guidelines, we can help reduce their risk of developing these chronic conditions and extend healthy life expectancy.
