Mangoes may improve heart health for postmenopausal women

A new study suggests that consuming mangoes may support heart health in postmenopausal women by lowering blood pressure and LDL cholesterol. Researchers at the University of California found that women who ate about 1.5 cups of mango daily for two weeks experienced lower blood pressure and reduced levels of "bad" cholesterol. The study involved 24 women aged 50-70 with overweight or obesity. The study also indicated that mango consumption resulted in a slower rise in blood sugar compared to white bread, with a quicker return to normal levels, potentially benefiting women in the postmenopausal stage.
