Avocado aids in the prevention of heart diseases such as high blood pressure. This fruit is rich in potassium which is a key element needed by the mammalian cells Sodium-Potassium pump. This biological reaction is catalysed by the enzyme Sodium-Potassium ATpase, in which for every molecule of ATP used, three sodium ions are exported out of the cell and two potassium ions are imported into the cell.
