A new study is adding to growing evidence that avocados may support heart health, with researchers finding that eating one avocado a day could improve cholesterol particles associated with cardiovascular disease risk.
Published in the Journal of Clinical Lipidology, the study found that adults with obesity who consumed one avocado daily experienced favorable changes in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particle characteristics, changes that researchers say may contribute to better cardiovascular health. However, the authors emphasized that avocados are not a standalone treatment for heart disease and should be viewed as part of an overall heart-healthy eating pattern rather than a single "superfood."
