AVOCADOS MAY HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT.

Not only are avocados a source of healthy fats, they’re packed with fiber too. This is why one
study found participants who ate avocado with their lunch felt

“23% more satisfied and had a 28% lower desire to eat over the
next 5 hours,” compared to participants whose lunch didn’t
contain avocado.AVOCADOS CONTAIN MORE POTASSIUM THAN BANANAS. Inadequate potassium intake is extremely common and associated with high blood pressure, heart
attacks, strokes, and kidney failure. Just half of an avocado
(about 100 grams) contains 14% of the daily recommended intake of
potassium, compared to the 10% found in a medium-sized banana.

AVOCADOS CAN REDUCE THE RISK OF HEART DISEASE.
Research shows that eating
avocados can significantly improve your cholesterol profile, thereby reducing your risk of heart disease.

Salt and ground black pepper, to taste

   scallions, and tomatoes. Stirring constantly, sauté for 1 minute;
   mix in ¼ of the egg whites. Cover with a lid, reduce heat to low,
   and cook until eggs have set, about 1 to 2 minutes. Use a spatula
   to fold eggs over themselves (in half) and then fold in half
   again. Remove eggs from pan and reserve. Repeat process 3 more
   times until all the egg whites and vegetables have been used.

    slices on top. Close with top half of bread, cut each sandwich in
    half, and serve.
