Reduce cholesterol and improves heart health

Unsaturated fatty acids, which are associated with better heart health, are abundant in avocado oil. In small crossover research with 13 participants, the first meal was either a control meal made with butter (25 grams of saturated fat) or the test meal made with avocado oil (25 grams of unsaturated fat). Blood tests taken 240 minutes after the test meal revealed that the test meal group had considerably lower triglyceride, total, and LDL (bad) cholesterol, inflammatory cytokines, and blood sugar levels than the control group.

For 45 days, one mouse research compared losartan, a blood pressure medicine, to avocado oil. It was discovered that avocado oil has similar benefits to losartan in lowering blood pressure, lowering diastolic and systolic blood pressure by 21.2 percent and 15.5 percent, respectively. In a second rat trial, it was shown that avocado oil effectively decreased triglyceride and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels while having no effect on HDL (good) cholesterol. This was similar to olive oil, another good oil for the heart.
