Dr. Svetlana Pavlichenko, a Russian cardiologist, revealed the positive effects of avocado on heart function due to its content of important vitamins and minerals. The specialist notes that avocado contains potassium, which is responsible for transmitting nerve signals to the heart muscles. She indicates that replacing animal fats with unsaturated plant fats reduces the risk of death from heart disease by 24-26%. Furthermore, she adds that avocado has elements such as silicon, boron, and nickel, which help improve metabolic processes.
She states, "Avocado is characterized by not only containing unsaturated fatty acids but also natural antioxidants, vitamins, and dietary fibers. These substances collectively help with the absorption of each other and enhance their positive effects in the body." She points out that there are no contraindications for consuming avocado, except for individual allergies to the fruit. However, it should be noted that it contains a high amount of calories.
