Avocados are high in potassium and low in salt. Because of this they are recognized for their ability to lower blood pressure and protect against heart attack and stroke.

But not all fats are created equal. Avocados contain monounsaturated fats that are great for improving your cholesterol and reducing inflammation. In addition they contain more potassium than bananas so they are very effective at managing blood pressure. Their high fiber makes them good for weight loss and control of blood sugar. On top that, they also contain vitamin A and C that are great for your skin. Avocados both help your heart and keep you looking younger. Sounds like a natural fountain of youth to me!

Several issues should be considered when using thiazide diuretics in older patients (Table 2). Older patients are more prone to thiazide-induced dehydration and orthostatic changes, so physicians should check for orthostatic hypotension and suggest measures for preventing falls. Serum electrolyte levels should be monitored frequently, and hypokalemia should be treated with potassium administration, the addition of a potassium-sparing diuretic like spironolactone (Aldactone), or the use of a combination product such as triamterene/hydrochlorothiazide (Dyazide, Maxzide).22,23 This is important because in the SHEP trial, older patients with potassium levels less than 3.5 mg per dL (0.9 mmol per L) lost the cardiovascular protective benefit from the thiazide.24 Although poorly studied, their efficacy may be decreased in patients with chronic kidney disease.6,22 Uric acid and thiazides compete for excretion at the level of the renal tubule, so caution is necessary in patients with a history of gout.23 Although thiazide diuretics have been reported to affect serum glucose and lipid levels adversely, there is a decreased incidence of metabolic abnormalities and associated clinical outcomes with low-dose therapy.13,25
