I have diabetes, but I love mango, must I avoid it completely?

My aim is to help the patients to keep up their living standards without sacrificing much. They must cooperate to plan their food in a different way.

You like mango. 100 gram of mango has 12.5 gram of carbohydrate. If you want to eat mango it is no problem at all. It is easy; you have to reduce your intake of rice, bread or chapatti or other carbohydrate sources like root vegetables.

Like this we can learn so many things; you enjoy your meals with adjusting the amount here and there and could be very happy.

If I say avoid mangoes, bananas or grapes, I am not doing any good to you, but be patient and with your food expert you could find many ways to avoid most of the bans. It is good so.

My cholesterol level is high; can I eat grapes, bananas or mangoes?

Normally, you can eat these fruits. If you have overweight and sugar, you can eat moderately but intake of other carbohydrates must be correspondingly reduced.

These are very healthy fruits, if I say avoid them; I am doing psychologically bad for you. I can allow you to eat and 2 idlys or one dosai or two chapattis can be reduced from your daily meals. You feel well, you are motivated and with the help of your good mood I can achieve better results for your health and this is our goal.

We eat at first with our eyes, so nothing is banned.

These fruits are very healthy food because they contain not only minerals and vitamins but also many antioxidants and phytochemicals.

The exemption is allergy and intolerance, where you must completely avoid these foods, otherwise it may be dangerous. These are fortunately very rare.

Mango

Mango is a delicious fruit if we forget the calcium carbide and hot stones. It is good if it is fresh only. Chemical cocktails in the name of mango juice are very bad.
