10. Prevents Constipation

Avocado contains a lot of fiber. One cup of diced fruit has 10 gram or 40 percent of the average RDI of fiber. A diet high in fiber is linked to lower risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, hypertension, diabetes, and obesity, not to mention constipation. Avocado contains large amounts of both soluble and insoluble fiber. The former binds to fat in the digestive tract and escorts it out of the body, reducing LDL cholesterol levels in the bloodstream. Soluble fiber also keeps blood sugar levels in check, which is beneficial for diabetic and prediabetic people. Insoluble fiber fills the belly and bulks up the stool so you stay full for a long time after eating.
