Avocados may improve female fertility
Eating avocados could make you pregnant! Or at least it could help women on IVF treatment to conceive, so researchers have recently claimed.
The study, carried out by Harvard researchers, has shown that monosaturated fat, prevalent in avocados, is better than any other dietary fat for would be mothers.
It showed that those who consumed the highest amounts of monsaturated fats were 3.4 times more likely to conceive than those on the lowest amounts.
The researchers think that the pro-fertility effects could be linked to a reduction of inflammation in the body.
"The best kinds of food to eat are avocados, which have a lot of monounsaturated fat and low levels of other sorts of fat," the study leader Professor Jorge Chavarro was quoted as saying.
