If you love avocados then you are going to absolutely love the recipe in this post! Often thought of as a vegetable, avocados are a nifty little fruit that provide healthy fats the body needs along with providing other great health benefits. They support cardiovascular health, contain antioxidants, may help aid in weight loss, enhance the body's absorption of nutrients, and more!

There are many ways to eat or add avocado to your diet. You can eat fresh slices like I do, or add to your salads, add to your morning eggs, or cook it in with your chicken and salmon orzo salad for dinner. The possibilities are endless. But this is definitely a fruit that packs a huge benefit in the health and fitness arena.

Eat Your Omegas!

If you are thinking of adding an omega-3 fatty acid supplement into your diet routine, just take a closer look at the food your consuming. It's recommended that you eat at least two servings each week, but if you have a history of heart disease, 1 gram per day is often recommended.  

Some people are not big on eating fish or other omega-3 rich foods, so this is where supplements come in handy. Because the most common side effect of fish oil is indigestion and gas, opting for a supplement with an enteric coating may help cut down on this.
