It has the kind of fat your body needs

Avocados are loaded with heart healthy, monounsaturated fatty acids - in other words they are made of the fats your body needs to run at its best. The superfood has oleic acid which is the kind of fat that has been linked to reducing inflammation. 77% of an avocado's calories come from its fat content which makes it the fattiest fruit on the planet. But this is not the fat that stains your plates from greasy take-out.
