In spring, many people remember that it is time to get rid of excess weight and monitor their health. It is worth starting to improve the body and lose weight by improving metabolism. Metabolism is a set of chemical processes and reactions that provide a living organism with life and development. The problem of excess weight is most often associated with a slow metabolism, so nutritionists recommend paying attention not only to the quantity, but also to the quality of food on several products that will help bring metabolism back to normal.
Among fresh fruits and vegetables that can help "adjust" metabolism, nutritionists highlight avocado - a fruit plant that is grown in tropical and subtropical latitudes. Despite the fat content of the fruit, avocado is considered a very healthy product that can normalize metabolic processes in the body. Observations of specialists prove that daily consumption of fresh avocado can speed up metabolism, which will contribute to subsequent weight loss.
Employees of the research company Nutrition Impact claim that substances contained in avocados can correct human metabolism. The specialists received this information after analyzing the monitoring of the diet of more than 17,000 people. The company's representatives analyzed the diet of many people and concluded that avocado lovers are generally healthier. For 7 years, the specialists monitored the diet of 17,000 people.

Experts suggest that it is avocado that supports processes in the body that can slightly “speed up” metabolism and help reduce the risk of developing metabolic syndrome.
Metabolic syndrome is a complex of metabolic disorders, as well as hormonal and clinical disorders of body functions, which can lead to serious cardiovascular diseases. The basis of the syndrome is absolute insensitivity to insulin (the hormone responsible for glucose absorption).
Modern studies of metabolic syndrome indicate that it is most often found in men. In women, the frequency of occurrence of the syndrome increases during menopause. The development of this syndrome is facilitated by obesity, lack of physical activity, too high-calorie diet and physical inactivity.
Among the total number of study participants, only 2-3% were obvious fans of avocado and ate this fruit almost daily. Statistics showed that these people were the healthiest, most active and had no prerequisites for the development of metabolic syndrome. Their diet can be considered the healthiest and safest: a large amount of fresh fruits, greens and vegetables, fermented milk products, sea fish and a minimum amount of fast carbohydrates.
Avocado fruits contain a large amount of fatty acids, which regulate the cholesterol level in the blood and provide healthy, elastic skin. Also, the avocado pulp contains vitamin E, which, according to some experts, prevents aging and even counteracts atherosclerosis. Glutathione and potassium have a positive effect on the condition of blood vessels and blood circulation.
