One of the best qualities of avocados is that they contain oleic acid, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/if-you-want-glowing-skin-start-eating-your-water\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">helps to hydrate your skin<\/a> and support the regeneration of damaged skin cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">But Wait\u2026.There\u2019s More!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Avocados can help to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/drop-your-chips-before-they-give-you-high-cholesterol-and-eat-these\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lower triglyceride and cholesterol levels<\/a>, which is a big deal considering that heart disease is the number one killer in the world.
