Nutritionists talk about the benefits and harms of avocados

Avocado is a very healthy product that everyone should consume, it is high in potassium, fiber, and unsaturated fatty acids. That is why its addition to the diet helps to normalize weight, lower cholesterol and provide the body with essential vitamins and minerals. In addition, it goes well with many foods, especially fish, and can be made into healthy toast and eaten for breakfast.

However, nutritionists say that despite all the benefits of this product, it is still impossible to eat it every day, and explained why, a study by experts was published in Еatthis.

Lindsay Wengler, MS, RD, CDN, CNSC, a registered dietitian at Olive Branch Nutrition in New York City, noted that avocados contain more potassium than bananas and can even help relieve some muscle cramps, but at the same time, they are very high in calories and can lead to weight gain.

Also, studies have shown that people who ate avocados every day can experience a real migraine because the fruit contains tyramine, which causes migraines.

It is worth noting that people who have stomach problems should not eat too much avocado. Nicole Sefanov, a nutrition teacher from the Greater New York area, said that eating too many avocados can even cause an exacerbation of IBS (irritable bowel syndrome).

Sorbitol also acts as a natural laxative, so overeating avocados can cause large amounts of water to enter the large intestine and stimulate bowel movements.

Nutritionists report that some people develop mild oral allergic reactions, such as itchy lips, mouth, and throat, after eating large amounts of avocados.

According to a study published in the journal Biochemical Society Transactions, it has been proven that many people are allergic to avocados, peppers, peaches, tomatoes, and bananas.
