Antioxidants are known to retard the activity of cancer cells and prevents premature ageing. Also containing glutathione which helps to boost immunity.

Avocados are rich in anti-inflammatory components, namely flavonoids & polyphenols which are beneficial in inflammatory diseases such as osteoarthritis and rheumatism, soothes inflamed mucous membranes and improves the health of our nervous system.
