The sun is very hot, and everyone wants a cold, sweet and sour mango ice to cool off the heat, but many women who are losing weight are annoyed at the thought of hidden sugar and calories in mango, and they are afraid of feeling guilty when they want to eat it. Nutritionists say that mango is rich in nutritional value, although it has the problem of high calorie, but adjusting diet by using its food characteristics can also achieve the effect of helping defecation and losing weight.

It is also rich in vitamin B6 and a lot of vitamin A, which can relieve depression, so it has the effect of preventing cancer.

Mango is rich in protein, crude fiber, vitamins and other ingredients, with high nutritional value, which can reduce cholesterol, prevent cardiovascular diseases and relieve depression, but it hides the problems of high sweetness and high calorie. 1 mango weighing 0.5 kg has about 280 calories, which is equivalent to 1 bowl of white rice. Eating too much can lead to obesity.

High-fiber mango helps digestion and increases satiety before meals.

However, Wang Xiaonan, a nutritionist at Dalin Tzu Chi Hospital, said that mango is rich in protein and fructose, which makes it easy to feel full. The body will secrete insulin, which will increase blood sugar, improve satiety and reduce appetite. For people who want to lose weight, it is recommended to eat a mango before meals to increase satiety and relatively reduce the intake of dinner.

The high fiber content of mango is also a good helper for obesity and weight loss. Mango contains a lot of crude fiber, which can keep satiety for a long time, absorb a lot of water molecules, soften bowel movements, and wriggle the stomach, which is of great help to the human excretory system, especially to prevent constipation.

However, the fiber of mango is thick, and eating too much will hinder digestion, so patients with gastrointestinal discomfort or gastrointestinal diseases should not eat more.

Attention should be paid to the high calorie intake of mango.

Although mango also helps to lose weight, nutritionist Wang Xiaonan reminds that mango is high in calories, so it should be eaten in moderation. If you are afraid of not knowing the weight, you can cut the mango into pieces. It takes about 8 minutes to fill a porcelain bowl, and it is better to eat 2-4 servings of fruit every day. If one is counted, one serving is about half that of a medium-sized mango, and that of a large mango is 1.
