Low energy density and high water content help to lose weight.
Each cup of fresh mango has about 100 calories and contains 3 grams of fiber, and 83% of the weight of mango is water. A study by the University of Pennsylvania shows that eating foods with high water content and low energy density can make people eat less but increase their satiety. Studies have shown that eating some fruits before meals can reduce the calorie intake of that meal 15%. However, mango has a high glycemic index, and it is easy to get fat if you eat too much. Pay attention to moderate consumption!
Rich in nutrition, it helps prevent oxidation and cancer.
A cup of mango can provide daily vitamin C and is rich in carotenoids and phenolic compounds (including vanillic acid, gallic acid and mangiferin). These bioactive compounds can synergistically provide more antioxidant effects, alleviate chronic inflammatory diseases, and prevent heart disease and type 2 diabetes. There is also preliminary evidence that mango has anti-cancer effect. In addition, mango also contains folic acid that can protect the heart and vitamin B6 that can improve the cognitive function of the brain.
