Try 1/4 avocado when making a sandwich instead of Mayo

Oooh, mushy & yucky by lunchtime. Take the avocado to work and cut it there. If you can't eat it all, someone will certainly help you.

If I pack an avocado sandwich in the morning, will the avocado still be good by lunch time? Will lemon juice on the avocado keep it fresher? The sandwich will be refrigerated.

You're right in that there are “good” and “bad” fats and it has to do with the way the body handles them. The “bad” fats tend to clog your arteries while good fats have beneficial effects (when taken in moderation) such as heart health and decreasing inflammation. These “good” fats would be unsaturated such as olive, canola, peanut, sunflower, safflower and soybean oils. Saturated (or bad fats) would be found in the skin of the chicken, butter, lard, coconut oil and whole dairy products. For more info, you can also check out Dana’s article on Omega-3 Fats.

When I talk about avocados and their “good fat” or heart-healthy fat with my husband he teases me. Can you help me explain heart-healthy fat to him and how it helps our bodies?

I love avocados! A very easy way to eat them is mashed and thinly spread on a tostada shell. I have to watch my sodium intake, so instead of sprinkling with salt I spritz with lime juice!
