Nutrient-rich avocados are rich in the antioxidant vitamins (A, C and E) that protect cells from the damage inflicted by free-radicals and are useful for preventing cardiac disease. Not only does eating avocado provide its own antioxidants, it also improves the absorption of antioxidants from other fruit and vegetables eaten at the same time. Most avocados reach the supermarket in an un-ripened form. As they ripen, they start to lose important antioxidant nutrients especially vitamin C, so eat as soon as they are ripe.
