Heart HealthDaily Avocado and Mango May Improve Blood Vessel Health in Adults With Prediabetes
Eating avocado and mango daily may improve blood vessel health in adults with prediabetes, according to an eight-week dietary study. Researchers compared one medium Hass avocado and one cup of fresh mango each day with carbohydrate foods providing equivalent calories. By the end, the fruit group scored higher on a test measuring how well arteries widen to support blood flow. Blood pressure results were also encouraging, particularly in men, and the report described no significant weight gain or increase in calorie intake. The findings support exploring food substitutions rather than simply adding calories. However, this study measured cardiovascular risk markers, not heart attacks or longevity. The supplied article is incomplete and does not provide participant numbers, full statistical results, or enough detail to establish how broadly the findings apply.
