  Avocado, produced by the avocado tree, is a fruit known for its creamy texture and thick, bumpy skin. Commonly consumed as Hass avocados in the US, these fruits weigh between 200 to 500 grams and are rich in oleic acid, akin to almonds or olive oil.

Studies suggest that avocado consumption may improve cardiovascular health by enhancing endothelial function and reducing postprandial blood glucose. Additionally, avocado compounds like persenone A and B exhibit antioxidant properties with potential chemopreventive effects against inflammation-associated carcinogens.

  Cassava

  Description:

  Cassava, also known as yuca, is a starchy root vegetable and a dietary mainstay in numerous tropical and developing nations. Despite its nutritional significance, cassava is not without concern, as it contains potentially harmful cyanogenic glycosides. Ongoing research is directed towards the development of genetically modified variants with reduced toxicity, aiming to mitigate health-related concers associated with its consumption. In addition to its role as a dietary staple, cassava supplements are sometimes marketed as a fertility aid, specifically highlighting an increased probability of conceiving twins. This claim is grounded in the notion that select cassava supplements can induce hyper-ovulation without the adverse effects commonly associated with prescription fertility medications. It is pertinent to note, however, that this assertion currently lacks any substantiation in studies. Beyond its purported use for fertility, available evidence suggests a potential reduction in the risk of developing type 2 diabetes with an increased intake of cassava flour in the diet.
