Mangoes May Improve Insulin Sensitivity in Overweight Adults: A New Study Reveals the Sweet Fruit's Unexpected Benefits

A recent study published in *Nutrients* suggests that consuming two servings of mangoes daily (approximately 100 calories) may improve insulin sensitivity in overweight or obese adults. Researchers at the Illinois Institute of Technology found that participants who incorporated mangoes into their diet for four weeks experienced a significant reduction in insulin resistance, compared to a control group. This improvement occurred without changes in body weight, challenging common misconceptions about mangoes' sugar content and its impact on obesity and diabetes. The study highlights the potential of mangoes as a natural and enjoyable way to support healthy blood sugar management and reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.
