From our child hood we have been trained to avoid fat, concerned that it will make us overweight, lead to heart disease or create other health problems. Even the word “fat” makes some of us to panic or recoil. However research has shown that Avocados have essential fatty acids that aid in brain development and healthy heart function. Avocados provide a wealth of nutritional benefits that elevate them to the status of functional food, one that provides health benefits beyond basic nutrition.

The fats you feed children as they grow could expand or limit their intelligence. This is because the brain is 60% to 70% fat, and the right raw materials from food are critical to building a complex, highly functioning brain, avocado and fish are the best in this case.
The very structure of the brain itself — both the brain cells and the communication mechanisms between brain cells — are built from fat. If the right fats are not supplied at critical stages of development, brain structure is altere “Fats are built into the structure of your child’s brain. The right balance of fats influence how intelligent your child becomes later in life. Without the right building blocks — including healthy sources of saturated fats and essential fatty acids like Omega 3s and DHA — your child won’t reach their full potential, impeding the brain’s ability to function.

Avocado contain an average of 2534 mg of omega-6 fatty acids and other important monounsaturated fats that are good for a healthy heart function.
Avocado oil may help preserve brain function by preventing stroke induced by high blood pressure, according to a study published in the April 2005 issue of the “Journal of Ethno pharmacology.”
Avocados also improve blood supply and oxygenation to your brain, just a quarter of an avocado per day can produce measurable benefits. This can explain why people from central Kenya where Avocados are in plenty are equally or even smarter than people from other counties.
