Mangoes with its scientific name Mangifera indica, originated from around the Indian border with Burma. The name of this fruit comes from Malayalam, "Maanga". Mango is mainly grown for the fruit. Mature mature fruits are commonly eaten fresh, as a fruit table or a mixture of ice, in the form of sliced ​​or blended as a mango juice. Young fruits are often mixed ingredients for rujak.

Mango fruit contains a variety of vitamins, especially A, C and D and has a variety of nutrients and efficacy for disease prevention. The results showed the content of polyphenols in mango nutritious to lower blood sugar levels so potentially prevent obesity. The study, presented at the Experimental Biology 2013 conference, says there is a linear correlation between blood sugar levels with diabetes and obesity risk. Increased blood sugar levels can lead to diabetes or obesity.

Polyphenols are the kind of micronutrients found in plants. Several studies have shown polyphenolic links with various disease prevention properties.

Mango fruit is rich in polyphenols, also rich in antioxidants such as "mangiferin" which will increase the body's metabolism and fight diabetes, "quercetin" against inflammation and hypertension, and "kaempferol" that inhibits cancer growth.

Researchers from Oklahoma University, Dr.Edralin Lucas have conducted a research study of 20 people with obesity by giving 10 grams of dried mango and consumed every day for 12 weeks. The results of the study showed a significant decrease in blood sugar levels among participants, although there was no difference in body fat levels.

The results of this study, as Lucas explains, are consistent with studies in mice fed high-fat foods and consumption of mangoes. The result turned out to be a decrease in blood sugar levels in mice.

So in addition to enjoying fresh mango fruit, sweet sometimes a bit sour, it turns out efficacy is also very good for lowering blood sugar levels.
