Mangoes are high in sugar and carbohydrates.
If you want to eat mangoes, eat in moderation and during daytime
Diabetics are mostly advised to eat mangoes in moderation.
According to the book Healing Foods by DK Publishing, mangoes contain enzymes that aid breakdown and digestion of protein, and also fiber, which keeps the digestive functions working efficiently. Dietary fiber has some long term benefits as well that include lowering the risk of developing colon cancer.
As per a study conducted at the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB), eating mangoes every day may control and even lower blood sugar levels, despite their natural sugar content. On the other hand, a study conducted at the Oklahoma University revealed that mango consumption helps lower insulin resistance and improves glucose tolerance in diabetics. The American Diabetes Association also recommends mango in its list of fruits that can be eaten by diabetics. According to them, fruits can be eaten in exchange of other sources of carbohydrates in your meal plan such as starches, grains or dairy products.
