The key facts
- The recommended intake of fruits and berries is 300–400 g per day, so one mango is enough
- Mango contains fiber, carotenoids, vitamins A, C, and B, potassium, and magnesium
- The fruit can cause allergies and dermatitis; people with diabetes are advised to limit portions
The norm is one fruit a day
Roskachestvo specialists spoke about the benefits and possible harms of mango. According to them, the fruit contains fiber, which helps the intestines function, as well as carotenoids and vitamin A, which are important for vision and skin health. Mango also contains vitamin C, B vitamins, potassium, and magnesium.
Who should be more careful
At the same time, the experts reminded about moderation: the recommended norm for all fruits and berries is 300–400 g per day, so, in their opinion, one mango a day is enough. The fruit can cause allergic reactions, substances in the peel can cause dermatitis, and unripe fruits can irritate the stomach lining. People with diabetes are advised to limit portion sizes.
How to choose and store
Roskachestvo suggests choosing mango by the firmness of the skin and its sweet fruity aroma: color alone does not indicate ripeness. A cut fruit should be stored in the refrigerator for no more than a day.
Context on fruit drinks
Life.ru also recalls an earlier warning from a nutritionist: the habit of replacing breakfast with fruit smoothies and juices can lead to an excess of sugars in the diet, and the specialist linked regular excessive consumption of such drinks with the risk of fat accumulation in the liver.
