Some notes when eating mango

Doctor Vu recommends that although mangoes have many benefits, they should not be eaten too much, especially for people with digestive problems or diarrhea. Mangoes should not be eaten when hungry because high levels of vitamin C can irritate the stomach and increase gastric juice secretion. People with diabetes should limit their mango intake; people with sensitive skin or allergies or acne should pay attention to drinking plenty of water and increasing their intake of green vegetables when eating mangoes.

In addition, according to the health news site Healthline (USA) , because mangoes contain a lot of phytic acid, when entering the body, they will generate heat. To reduce this effect, soak the mangoes in water before eating. In addition, people also need to pay attention to the time of eating mangoes. The best time to eat mangoes is in the morning. Avoid eating mangoes after dinner because ripe sweet mangoes can suddenly increase blood sugar. Avoid drinking a lot of water immediately after eating mangoes because it will dilute the pH concentration in the stomach, easily causing stomach pain and indigestion.
