It is a widely popular belief that avocado oil is one of the most beneficial cooking oils for us. Although less used in India, avocado oil is extremely beneficial and its use in Indian cuisines has increased over the years. The cooking oil is packed with essential nutrients and vitamins such as A, D, E and K, Omega 3 fatty acids and carotenoid protein. It strengthens bone joints and provides pain relief. Avocado oil also lowers blood pressure.
Some of the benefits of avocado oil include:
Lowers blood pressure and cholesterol: The low saturated fat content in avocado oil lowers bad cholesterol, or LDL. In addition, the essential fatty acids keep our kidneys healthy and the hormone balance is also maintained. The nutrients also help control our blood pressure.

Joint Pain ReliefHealthline: According to Healthline, numerous studies have shown that avocado extracts, called avocado/soybean unsaponifiables (ASU), can help reduce the pain and stiffness caused by osteoarthritis.
Helps with weight loss: Monounsaturated fat and oleic acid in avocado oil help in weight reduction. The metabolic boost you get after consuming the oil is the main reason for weight loss.
Reduce oxidative damage: Oxidative stress is caused by the free radicals that damage the red blood cells (RBCs). This puts you at risk for heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes. The antioxidants in avocado oil prevent oxidative stress and help improve our longevity.
Good for the skin: The ultraviolet rays that penetrate the depleting ozone layer today cause great damage to our skin and can also cause skin cancer. The antioxidants in avocado oil help repair skin damage caused by sunburn. Vitamins E, D, proteins, beta-carotene, lecithin and Omega 3 fatty acids help reduce inflammation and cool our skin.
