Avocado And Mango Intake Linked To Better Vessel Health

Buzzline

Eating one medium Hass avocado and one cup of mango daily for eight weeks was linked to better blood vessel function in adults with prediabetes, according to an Illinois Institute of Technology study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association. Flow-mediated dilation rose to 6.7% in the avocado-mango group, while it fell to 4.6% in a calorie-matched control group. Among men, central blood pressure dropped about 1.9 points versus a 5-point rise; cholesterol, blood sugar and inflammation were largely unchanged.

00:00Eating avocado and mango every day may be linked to a healthier heart.

00:04Researchers at Illinois Institute of Technology studied adults with prediabetes.

00:08For eight weeks, one group ate a medium-ass avocado and a cup of mango daily.

00:13A comparison group ate carbohydrate-based foods with the same calories instead.

00:18Then the team measured how well blood vessels widen as blood flows.

00:22In the avocado and mango group, that measure rose to 6.7%.

00:26In the comparison group, it fell to 4.6%.

00:29Men eating the fruits saw central blood pressure drop about 1.9 points.

00:35Men in the comparison group saw an increase of 5 points.

00:38The fruits added fiber, vitamin C, and healthy fats.

00:42Cholesterol, blood sugar, and inflammation didn't change much.

00:45The study appears in the Journal of the American Heart Association.

00:49It's a short study, but a tasty clue for heart health.

00:52Disclosure.
