Daily consumption of mangoes and avocados can help heart health Fiber, vitamin C and monounsaturated fats in avocados and mangoes are associated with cardiovascular health. According to a new study of people with prediabetes, eating one cup of avocado and one cup of mango daily may have significant benefits for heart health. In this eight-week study, participants who consumed both fruits regularly experienced improvements in blood vessel function and blood pressure without gaining weight or consuming more calories. Pre-diabetes is a condition in which the blood sugar level is higher than the norm, but has not yet reached the threshold for the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. According to ScienceDaily, this study, published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, shows that including these two nutrient-rich fruits in daily meals may help maintain cardiovascular health in people with prediabetes. One of the distinct improvements was the ability of blood vessels to expand in response to blood flow. This flexibility helps with normal blood flow and is one of the most important indicators of cardiovascular health. To assess this response and examine the function of the inner layer of blood vessels, the researchers measured "flow-dependent vasodilation" or FMD. This thin layer of cells inside the blood vessels, called the endothelium, covers the inner surface of the blood vessels and helps regulate blood flow and the narrowing and dilation of the arteries. In regular consumers of avocados and mangoes, the value of this index increased significantly and reached 6.7%, while this value decreased to 4.6% in the control group, indicating that regular consumption of these fruits may contribute to better functioning of the arteries. Blood pressure measurement also showed promising changes, especially in men. Central blood pressure, the pressure in the large arteries near the heart, increased by an average of 5 mmHg in the men in the control group, but decreased by about 1.9 mmHg in the men who consumed the avocado and mango.
