Eating mangoes also keeps the heart healthy. New Research
Mango Nutrition, Health Benefits, Mangoes Fruits
A new clinical review has revealed that eating mangoes has beneficial effects on the heart and stomach of middle-aged women. Researchers have found that eating mangoes twice a day has beneficial effects on systolic blood pressure in menopausal women.
According to the review, the blood vessels were relaxed just two hours after eating the mango. The women who participated in this research also saw a positive change in the production of methane gas in their breath, which meant that the fermentation process in the intestines had a positive effect.
Lead researcher Dr. Robert Heckman of the University of California, Davis, said this is the first study to show that eating mangoes has positive effects on blood vessels. It should be noted that mango contains various compounds of polyphenols, including mangiferin, quercetin, gallows, and gallic acid. Previous research also focused on the nutritional components found in this fruit and believed to be beneficial for health.
For the new research, 24 healthy menopausal women were fed 330 grams of mango pulp per day (in two servings for 14 days), called Ataulfo, which was selected as containing the highest amount of polyphenols.
This sweet honey-like mango is similar to Pakistani Chonsa or Chaunsa. After eating mangoes for 14 days, the women in the study resumed their normal daily diet, but for 13 days, they did not eat any mangoes. At each visit, their heart rate and blood pressure were measured, and blood and breath samples were taken, which are often used to test gut health.
There was no significant difference in blood pressure at the beginning of the study, but as soon as mango consumption was started, upper stool blood pressure decreased significantly after two hours. Two hours after eating the mango, the pulse pressure was also significantly reduced.
It is worth noting that the top number in the blood pressure reading is called the systolic blood pressure, and this number shows how much pressure the blood is exerting on the walls of your arteries when your heart pumps blood. The difference between systolic and diastolic pressure in a blood pressure reading indicates pulse pressure and pulse pressure can be used to determine heart health.
