Ha, I haven't written about the avocado in way too long, so it was time again. This is still my friend every day and there seriously isn't a day that goes by that I don't feel like having it. On a rice cake, straight from the hand, in a smoothie, or mixed into soup. It makes it nice and thick and creamy.

I'll update you on the reasons why this green fruit is incredibly good for you and why it really doesn't hurt to eat one every day.

• You need fats. You can get them from a container of fries at night, but you can also choose an avocado. It contains ’good fats“ that quickly give you a feeling of fullness, so you can never eat too much of it. In other words, they prevent another binge. And you won't feel guilty about it either.

• The fruit contains vitamin B, which gives you a nice mood boost.

• Avocados contain three types of fats. You need those (too) for a slim body.

• There are a lot of fibers in avocados, which is good for your digestion.

• The avocado also takes very good care of your heart.

• Avocados contain the substances beta-sitosterol and vitamin E. Forget that difficult first name, you just need to know that it works wonders for your hair growth. That's always good news, right?

• The antioxidants found in avocados have a detoxifying effect, which is nice if you want to take it a bit easy in January after all the parties and celebrations.
