Avocado oil is pressed from the avocado fruit.The fruits of the Persea americana botanical (original nomenclature: Persea gratissima)-better known as the Avocado tree-were reportedly cultivated in Mexico, Central, and South America as early as 5000 B.C. Avocado oil is very similar to olive oil in terms of utility and nutritional value. Like extra virgin olive oil, cold-pressed avocado oil is unrefined and retains some of the flavor and color of the fruit, leaving it greenish in color. Avocado oil is also frequently applied directly to the skin as a moisturizer, and can be found in many cosmetics and skin care products. When produced for external application, the oil is usually refined and bleached, giving it a pale yellow color.
1. Avocado oil is a heart-healthy oil, high in oleic acid, which is an unsaturated fat. It contains vitamin E and also helps the body absorb other fat-soluble vitamins.
2. Avocado oil is a good source of monounsaturated fat which has been linked to reducing LDL cholesterol and increasing HDL cholesterol. LDL cholesterol has been linked to strokes as well as to heart and artery diseases.
3. Similar to olive oil, avocado oil has a high amount of oleic acid, which has been shown to lower blood pressure.
4. Lower cholesterol and blood pressure contribute to good heart health, but avocado oil also may be able to help reverse the inflammatory processes associated with cardiovascular risk. One study found that rats that were fed sugar and given a supplement of avocado oil were less likely to suffer cardiac events than rats who were fed sugar without the supplement.
5. Avocado oil contains both lutein and vitamin E, both of which are important for good eye and skin health. Lutein, in particular, is known to protect against age-related macular disease, which can lead to vision impairment and even blindness.
1. Used topically, Avocado Oil is an effective moisturizer for dry, cracked skin, especially on the heels and cuticles. Applying a few drops of the oil to these areas will leave them looking and feeling supple and smooth.
2. Used in hair, Avocado Oil can promote growth and can soothe itchiness by eliminating dandruff and dryness. To stimulate circulation to the scalp, to unclog hair follicles, and to reduce hair fall, a nickel-size amount of Avocado Oil can be massaged directly into the scalp.
3. Used medicinally, a few drops of Avocado Carrier Oil can be applied directly to the skin to soothe the discomfort of blisters, rashes, insect stings, and wounds.
