A healthy Halloween snack is hard to come by these days, so we went ahead and made our own! Avocados are delicious, and they’re packed with folic acid, a natural vitamin that helps our gum tissue fight back against inflammation and bleeding.
You can also find high amounts of potassium, or Vitamin K, in avocados. Potassium helps keep your teeth nice and strong, lessening your risk of tooth decay!
Avocados also contain the special nutrients we get from leafy greens called phytochemicals. They’re rich in antioxidants and help protect gums and other tissues from infection.
Add a dose of avocado to your diet this Halloween and share your healthy, low-sugar Halloween snack all around the neighborhood!
