Dear Jasvinder Singh

Avocadoes are a source of healthy fats. Eating an avocado daily is healthy. But it alone does not help to gain weight.
Eating banana with milk in the morning helps to gain weight.
Eat healthy food.

It is said that too much Avocadoes show reverse action and cause weight loss. So , it is difficult to be sure about it. Lets hear it from team Herbpathy

Avocado is a sure fire for weight loss. Why would you even try to gain weight by eating it. Do not go by its texture or the fact that it is called butter fruit. Besides, just scroll up, herbpathy is very clear on the subject, it is to be used to treat Obesity.
I am sure the Herbpathy team has something to tell us.

Thank you Mr. Suraj Bhan for sharing the information. Yes, a sure shot for weight loss it is.


Dear Jasvinder
Avocado is a fruit which is highly effective to cure Obesity. It is not used to gain weight. Although, its name is butter fruit, but its action is not that of a butter at all.
And, yes it improves the digestion.
It has soluble fibres and oleic acid which help you to feel full. This makes it a highly effective hunger squasher. It is known to reduce bad cholesterol and thus reduces the risk of a Heart Disorder.
You may scroll up to check other benefits of this fruit.

What about avocado seed benefit and side effect to the liver.

Baldness, Cancer, Obesity, Aging, Frizzy Hair, Dandruff, Menstrual Disorders, Dysentery, Diarrhea, Caries, Scroll up to check the other diseases it cures. Be careful !! Only eat the best grade of avocados. Some varieties of Avocados available in the market may cause damage to Liver. The collagen in the fruit is known to get deposited in the Liver, which may cause Liver damage. However, if you eat 2 to 3 Avocados per week , it will protect and repair the damaged Liver. Buy only the finest kind of Avocados. Mexican Avocado should be strictly avoided.
