In a study with Hispanic families, those who ate more aguacates reported being more physically active over time. While more research is needed, these findings add to growing evidence that avocados can be part of a healthy lifestyle.
Findings from a randomized controlled trial involving 72 Hispanic families show that increased avocado consumption was associated with higher reported levels of physical activity over six months. These findings align with several other research studies suggesting that avocados are a valuable part of a healthy lifestyle. The study received funding from the Avocado Nutrition Center, and more research is needed to understand how the results apply to other populations.
