A new study found that for people who overweight or obese, eating 1 avocado every day for 6 consecutive months has no effect on abdominal fat, liver fat or waist circumference. Moreover, it also reduces unhealthy levels of cholesterol. On July 5th, the study was published in the "American Cardinal Association Magazine".

In random trials, researchers found that during the study, participants who consumed avocado had better diet.

Earlier, some small studies have found that the edible avocado is associated with lower weight, physical quality index and waist circumference. From the perspective of the number and research cycle of participants, the study is by far the largest and most extensive research on the impact of avocado on health.

"Avocado will not only affect abdominal fat or gain weight. The evidence provided by this study also shows that avocado is a beneficial supplement for a balanced diet." Penny Kris-Etherton, a professor of nutritional sciences at Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania, said, "In this study," In this study, Intractioning a avocado every day will not cause weight gain, and it will also slightly reduce low -density lipoprotein cholesterol. These are important discoveries that are good for health. "

Kristina Petersen, a professor of nutritional science at Texas University of Technology, said the study also found that eating avocado every day can increase the overall diet quality of participants by 8 points (full scores 100 points).

"There are very few Americans in accordance with the" American Diet Guide ", and our research results show that eating a avocado every day can significantly improve the overall diet quality." Petersen said, "This is important because we know that higher diet quality It is related to reducing the risks of several diseases, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and some cancers. "

This 6 -month experiment involved more than 1,000 overweight or obese participants, half of them were asked to eat 1 avocado every day, the other half continued their daily diet, and was required to control the intake of avocado fruits in the amount Two less than two months. Before and at the end of the study, the researchers accurately measured the fats of the participants' abdomen and other organs with magnetic resonance imaging.

"Although eating one avocado every day does not significantly improve the risk of abdominal fat and other heart metabolic risk, it will not lead to gaining weight." Joan Sabaté, a professor at the School of Public Health at the University of Romal Linda, said that consumption of avocado daily can reduce total cholesterol to reduce total cholesterol 2.9 mg/dl, reduce low -density lipoprotein cholesterol by 2.5 mg/dl. "This is positive, because inges in additional calories from avocado will not affect weight or abdominal fat, and will slightly reduce total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol."

Researchers said that in the future, they will continue to analyze the data of this study. For example, participants have not been told how to eat avocado every day. In the future, research may investigate how participants include avocado into their diet and the way participants eat avocado.
