The Sweet Truth About Mangoes:
Mangoes contain natural sugars that can impact blood glucose levels when consumed frequently or in large portions.
Why Limit Frequency?
Glycemic load increases with ripeness and portion size, potentially causing blood sugar spikes.
Evidence-Based Recommendations:
1.Limit to 100g (approximately 1/3 medium mango) per serving.
2.Consume 1-2 times weekly during mango season, not daily.
3.Eat as a mid-morning or evening snack, not post-meal dessert.
4.Pair with protein or healthy fat (like curd) to reduce glycemic impact.
Diabetic Patients Should Enjoy Mangoes Wisely, Not Frequently.
