Cardiologist Reveals Avocado's Surprising Health Benefits, Debunking Weight Gain Myth
Cardiologist Unpacks Avocado's Health Benefits, Dispelling Common Misconceptions Madrid, Spain – Dr. Aurelio Rojas Sánchez, a prominent cardiologist known as @doctorrojass, recently released a video detailing the extensive health benefits of avocado, aiming to clarify common misunderstandings surrounding the popular fruit. In his address, Dr. Rojas systematically debunked several myths, asserting that avocado does not lead to weight gain despite its calorie content. "Avocado does not make you fat, even though it has calories," Dr. Rojas stated. "On the contrary: it helps control appetite and lose weight thanks to its fiber and healthy fats." He elaborated on its positive impact on cardiovascular health, noting, "It increases HDL cholesterol (the 'good' one) and reduces oxidized LDL (the most dangerous for your arteries)." The cardiologist also highlighted avocado's role in blood pressure regulation due to its potassium content and its benefits for intestinal microbiota and digestion through prebiotic fiber. Furthermore, Dr. Rojas emphasized the fruit's anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties, attributing them to antioxidants like lutein, zeaxanthin, and vitamin E. He also pointed out its effectiveness in stabilizing glucose and preventing diabetes by improving insulin resistance. To underscore his claims, Dr. Rojas cited a clinical trial published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, which demonstrated that "eating one avocado a day for 6 months reduced oxidized LDL cholesterol without increasing body weight." He concluded by offering a practical tip: "Combine it with flax or chia seeds – together they provide omega-3, soluble fiber, and antioxidants, a perfect cocktail to take care of your heart, your gut, and your energy." Dr. Rojas asserted, "Avocado is not a fad: it is science at the service of your heart." The video aims to provide evidence-based nutritional guidance to a broad audience.
