Health Benefits: An avocado is a fruit that comes from the tree of the same name (Persea americana). Avocados are sometimes called Alligator Pears. Avocados and avocado oil offer a number of health benefits. It is estimated that avocados have been around since 10,000 BC. They are native to Central Mexico, but they are now grown in Mediterranean and Tropical climates all over the world.
Avocados have a high fiber content. 75% of this is insoluble and 25% soluble fiber. Insoluble fibers are good for the gut as they act as laxatives and also add bulk so help prevent constipation. They don't dissolve in water so pass straight through the body and just help move everything along. Avocados are also packed with B vitamins, vitamin E and vitamin K.

Health Benefits: Bananas contain all kinds of good things –
health-promoting flavonoids and poly-phenolics, such as lutein,
zeaxanthin, beta and alpha carotenes, acting as free radical-gobbling
antioxidants. That’s also an advantage in the high vitamin C content, most
known for its infection-fighting properties.
Just one banana contains 467 mg of potassium, which is important for controlling your heart rate and blood pressure. This is interesting, since the same amount of banana has just one milligram of sodium. The vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) in bananas provides around 28% of what is needed daily to help prevent anemia and coronary artery disease.
