Illinois Institute of Technology Study Finds Mango and Avocado Diet Improves Heart Health in Prediabetics
A study conducted by researchers at the Illinois Institute of Technology has found that incorporating mango and avocado into the daily diet of individuals with prediabetes can lead to significant improvements in cardiovascular health. The study, published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, involved participants adding one medium Hass avocado and one cup of fresh mango to their meals and snacks each day for eight weeks. Results showed measurable improvements in blood vessel function and reductions in diastolic blood pressure, a key marker linked to cardiovascular risk. The study highlights the potential of simple dietary changes to enhance heart health without major lifestyle adjustments.
