5. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
As always, women who are pregnant or breastfeeding will want to be careful and closely monitor what they are eating and how they are feeling. For pregnant and breastfeeding individuals, it is recommended to stick to consuming avocados in food amounts. Some very limited research has shown the potential for avocados to decrease milk production for breastfeeding women. Limited reliable information is available regarding the safety of using avocado in larger amounts as medicine during pregnancy and breastfeeding. If you are at all concerned, consult your doctor, who can help ease your concerns and steer you in the right direction.
The Bottom Line
Avocados are a very healthy food choice rich in essential nutrients and healthy fats. They can also provide many benefits when used topically on the skin and in hair. That being said, they may not be for everyone. If you notice that your skin doesn’t seem to react well to avocado, or that you tend to feel weird or have any kind of reaction after eating avocado, stop using or consuming it. You can consult your doctor for an allergy test if you wish, though ultimately, it’s best to simply avoid foods that don’t leave you feeling your best.
