Your poop color can be influenced by what you eat and avocados are one of those foods that can turn your stools green. Other foods that can cause green poop include leafy greens, matcha, herbs, apples, green grapes, and green food coloring.
Additionally, avocados are considered great for your gut health, per a 2021 study published in The Journal of Nutrition, which assessed the blood, urine, and fecal samples of 163 overweight but otherwise healthy adults between 25-45 years of age, after a 12-week period where one group had avocados daily and the other didn’t. The researchers found that those who consumed this fruit every day had a greater concentration of gut microbes that support gut health and help break down fiber. These participants also had higher microbial diversity. Your poop health is closely related to your gut health so it’s not difficult to see why avocados should be on your list of foods if you’re dealing with constipation.
As for what happens to the rest of your body when you eat avocado every day, you will be full for longer owing to the fruit’s high content of fiber and healthy fats and you will help your body absorb other helpful nutrients like vitamins A, D, E, and K. The antioxidants in avocados fight inflammation, protect your eyes, and combat cancer. Plus, the saponins in avocados could provide relief from osteoarthritis symptoms, the folate levels could help with depression, and the beta-sitosterol in the fruit can help maintain healthy cholesterol levels.
