The avocado - a fruit native to Mexico - has seen a boost in popularity in the UK over the past few years.
Now scientists have found the fruit could not only help to lower high blood pressure but even cholesterol levels and high blood sugar.
The experts looked at the effect of avocado on metabolic syndrome.
Previously studies have revealed the fruit has the most beneficial effects on reducing cholesterol and fat in the body.

Metabolic syndrome - an umbrella term for diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure - has been dubbed the ‘new silent killer’ by scientists.
The condition, a cluster of three or more risk factors which include abdominal obesity - fat around the middle, high blood pressure, and diabetes, affect one in four adults in the UK.
Previously, doctors looked at each of the risk factors on their own.
On their own, diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity damage blood vessels, but having all three together is particularly dangerous, researchers have warned.
Scientists have said the metabolic syndrome is both under diagnosed and under treated.
But avocado could help reduce the effects of these conditions.
Iranian researchers looked at more than 100 previously published studies looking at the effect of eating avocado on different parts of metabolic syndrome.
Most of the studies looked at the fleshy part of the fruit most people are used to eating - but some of the study also looked at the leaves, peel and seeds of the fruit.
The researchers concluded avocados can influence several different measurements including leaves of bad cholesterol - LDL cholesterol - and triglycerides.

Triglycerides are a type of fat - lipid - found in your blood.
When you eat, your body converts any calories it doesn't need to use right away into triglycerides.
Avocados could even help protect people from the fat and protect against obesity.
"Avocado is a well-known source of carotenoids, minerals, phenolics, vitamins, and fatty acids," wrote the authors of the Phytotherapy Research review.
"The lipid-lowering, antihypertensive, antidiabetic, anti-obesity, antithrombotic, antiatherosclerotic, and cardioprotective effects of avocado have been demonstrated in several studies."
The study, Effects of Avocado on Metabolic Syndrome: A Comprehensive Systematic Review, was published in the journal Phytotherapy research.
