½ avocado■ Eating half an
avocado at lunch can
keep you feeling full for

in Nutrition Journal
found, which — on top of
lowering heart disease
risk and improving
cholesterol levels — is
one more reason to
pick this fruit. Don’t
overdo it, though. Think
of the avocado as the
“fat” cat of superfoods
— each has 29 grams!
Sure, it’s healthy
monounsaturated fat,
but too much could
still split the seams of
your jeans.Curbyour
