Your gut bacteria loves fiber. Fiber feeds them by helping them perform better for you and also keeps you regular. Fiber can help prevent constipation by adding bulk to stool and helping speed its passage through the digestive tract.
One fruit that is a nutritional powerhouse and loaded with healthy fats is the avocado. It shines in its fiber content. The fat is primarily monounsaturated, which helps lower LDL (bad cholesterol). A whole avocado provides roughly 6 grams of fiber. Avocados are a good source of vitamins E, C, and K, folate, and potassium.
In terms of calories, a regular-sized avocado ranges from 200 to 300. Try to stay within your daily calorie intake and never overdo it. Refer to "Heal Your Gut. Tip #2" for mindful eating habits.
