Here are a few health benefits of avocado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Avocado helps to improve immunity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This superfood is packed with magnesium, vitamin C, vitamin E, folate and more. They provide nutrients which are important to improve our immunity, says Keluskar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Avocado helps to reduce damage caused by excessive screen time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most children get hooked to television or mobile or other gadgets that impact the eye health in a negative manner. Avocados are good sources of lutein and zeaxanthin, the phytochemicals that they help to lessen damage caused by excessive screen time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Avocado helps to maintain digestive health<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The digestive tract needs a sufficient amount of fiber to support the growth of good bacteria. Consuming fiber-rich foods can help to avoid constipation and maintain the health of your digestive system, says the expert. It is great for your\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthshots.com\/health-news\/eating-an-avocado-a-day-can-keep-your-gut-healthy-says-study\/\">gut health<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.
