The avocado has a long list of health benefits with its unsaturated fats and nutrients that are known to help naturally lower LDL and raise your good HDL cholesterol, help regulate blood sugar and tamp down inflammation throughout the body and brain. Adding it to a colorful Israeli salad will upgrade any meal as a great starter, side dish, and even as the main dish.
