Remember Few things while consuming Mango👇

🔸Natural Form: like any fruit, it's best if eaten in its natural form. If you make smoothie,shakes, cakes - obviously there's milk, sugar and other additives, which makes it calorie dense.
🔸Avoid eating mangoes along with your major meals, it’s best to consume it as a separate meal for better absorption and reducing the carbohydrates overload of the major meals
🔸Soaking: Soaking mango in water for min 30min; max 2hrs, will help reduce the phytic acid content of it, which is responsible for interfering with the absorption of other nutrients in the body and also increasing the body heat.
FOR DIABETICS:
🔸Eat it as a mid meal snack
🔸Have the desired quantity and check your blood sugar 2 hrs post that,if it is >200mg/dl,reduce the quantity to 50%,recheck the sugar.
