Scientists Say Eating One Avocado a Day May Lower Heart Disease Risk

In a six-month trial of adults with obesity, eating one avocado a day lowered LDL particle concentrations in the blood.

Researchers estimated this could translate to about a 4% reduction in heart disease risk.

LDL particle count can be a stronger cardiovascular risk marker than standard LDL cholesterol for some people, especially those with obesity.

The findings suggest a simple diet change may modestly improve heart health even without weight loss.
