Reset and Build Healthy Snack Habits
Science continues to show that avocados are a heart-healthy fruit, and their 5 grams of monounsaturated fats per serving may help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol, which can lower the risk for heart disease and stroke. In this episode we continue to build on the knowledge that avocados are heart healthy and share strategies for people to put this science to action, specifically how fresh avocados can be part of a nutrient-dense snacking strategy that may support heart health.
