Eating avocado and mango daily can significantly improve heart health, study concludes<\/strong><\/p>\n
. A study has shown that eating one avocado and one mango daily can improve heart health. According to a study conducted by researchers at the Illinois Institute of Technology in the US, regular consumption of these two fruits has shown positive changes in blood vessel function and blood pressure.<\/p>\n In an eight-week study of pre-diabetic adults, the group that ate avocado and mangoes showed improvements in blood vessel function.<\/p>\n The researchers found that there was a positive change in blood pressure, especially in the male participants. <\/p>\n The study, published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, involved 82 participants between the ages of 25 and 60. All of them had pre-diabetes and had a higher body weight than normal. <\/p>\n In the study, participants were divided into two groups. One group was fed one medium-sized hash avocado and one cup of fresh mango daily. The other group was given carbohydrate-rich foods with the same number of calories. <\/p>\n After eight weeks, the flow-mediated dilation (FMD) index, which measures the blood vessel efficiency of the avocado and mango eating group, was 6.7 percent. In contrast, in the other group, the index dropped to 4.6 percent. FMD measures how effectively blood vessels can dilate when blood flow increases.<\/p>\n There was also a positive change in blood pressure. The male participants in the control group had an average of 5 mmHg of central blood pressure, while the avocado and mango eating group decreased by about 1.9 mmHg. <\/p>\n According to the researchers, these changes in blood vessel function and blood pressure may be important in reducing the risk of heart and vascular disease.<\/p>\n However, the study only lasted eight weeks and did not measure long-term health outcomes such as heart attack or stroke, so more research is needed. <\/p>\n In the study, there was no significant change in the participants’ body weight or total calorie intake after eating these fruits. The researchers say that this indicates that it can help heart health by improving the nutritional quality of the food without gaining weight. <\/p>\n The avocado and mango eating group consumed more fiber, vitamin C, and unsaturated fats. These nutrients can help with heart health. Potassium in avocados plays a role in controlling blood pressure, while its unsaturated fats can help lower bad cholesterol (LDL) when used instead of unhealthy fats. <\/p>\n Vitamin C found in mangoes helps to protect the body’s cells from oxidative damage. The fiber in it can help in digestion, management of blood sugar levels, and heart health. The research also showed improvement in some indicators related to kidney function. However, there was no significant difference in the indicators of cholesterol, blood sugar levels and inflammation in the body compared to the control group. According to Britt Burton-Freeman, a professor at the Illinois Institute of Technology and the study’s lead researcher, it may be helpful to include nutritious fruits in the diet because people with prediabetes have a higher risk of heart disease. According to him, adding fruits like avocado and mango to the daily diet can be an easy way to improve heart health. <\/p>\n However, the study has not confirmed that eating avocado and mango together has more benefits than eating them separately. Due to the limited group of participants in the research and the short duration, it cannot be said that the findings are equally applicable to people of all ages and health conditions. <\/p>\n This study was done with the financial support of the National Mango Board and the Hash Avocado Board. The researchers said that these organizations did not have a role in the design and determination of the study’s findings.
