The incredible, edible avocado.

There’s nothing better than stuffing your face with chips and guac. I recently read a statistic that nearly 53.5 million pounds of guacamole are eaten every Super Bowl Sunday. That’s enough to cover a football field more than 20 feet thick. Talk about diving in… it makes my mouth water just thinking about it!

Bet you’re asking why your dentist’s talking about guacamole

If you follow Hylan Dental Care on Facebook, we recently launched #WellnessWednesdays. There’s no question that we love taking care of our patients’ dental needs, and we’re just as passionate about helping them achieve overall health and wellness. Wellness Wednesdays are a great way to share anything and everything having to do with living a more healthy and active lifestyle–including fitness tips, recipes, and more.

Back to the matter at hand

Avocados are the star ingredient of guacamole, but there are so many other ways you can enjoy this amazing and delicious fruit. Whether you choose to incorporate them into your breakfast, lunch, dinner, or mid-day snack, avocados have no doubt become an incredibly popular “super food” among many of today’s health conscious people–because in addition to tasting good, they offer a long list of health benefits.

Avocados are great for dips, spreads, and salads, or even just eating right out of the rind! In addition to “good” monounsaturated fat, avocados are packed with protein and fiber, plus they boast over 20 vitamins and minerals (vitamins C, K, B5, B6, E, folate and potassium, just to name a few).

Did you know?

  • Avocados are gluten free, dairy free, vegan, vegetarian and cholesterol-free?
  • Avocados lower bad cholesterol (LDL)?
  • Avocados are a healthy food for babies?
  • Avocados are an inexpensive anti-aging tool for your skin?
