In fact, researchers have found that avocados may protect the heart in a similar way as olive oil and nuts do in the heart-healthy Mediterranean diet. A 2018 analysis of 10 studies found an increase in HDL (protective cholesterol) in people who consumed an average of 1 to 3.7 avocados daily.

Limited evidence suggests eating avocados can help you feel more satisfied after eating and may help prevent weight gain. They may even help improve weight loss, though research on this is limited. Eaten in reasonable amounts, avocados are a health-promoting addition to a weight-loss–friendly diet.

One more benefit of consuming avocado for men is that it can increase libido. Avocados contain zinc which is believed to be able to help the production of the hormone testosterone so that it plays an important role in male libido. If there is a lack of zinc, it can make men less excited during sex.

Nutrient Dense Avocados are sodium-free and cholesterol-free and have only five grams of fat per serving, most of which is monounsaturated fat – the “good” cholesterol-lowering fat.
