Mango Consumption and Insulin Sensitivity
Study Overview
This study looked at how eating mango regularly affects inflammation and insulin sensitivity in people who are overweight or obese and have chronic low-grade inflammation.
Key Findings
- Participants: 48 adults with an average age of 37.6 years.
- Study Design: Participants consumed 1 cup of mango or a control product twice a day for 4 weeks.
- Insulin Levels: Insulin levels dropped significantly in the mango group compared to the control group (8.2 vs. 15.3 µIU/mL).
- Improved Insulin Sensitivity: The Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) improved significantly in the mango group (2.28 vs. 4.67).
- Potential Mechanism: Mango intake may activate genes that help boost the body’s antioxidant defenses.
Practical Solutions
Incorporating mango into your diet could enhance insulin sensitivity, especially for those struggling with chronic inflammation. This simple dietary change may help in managing blood sugar levels effectively.
