Who should not eat mango: As soon as summer starts, there is only one name on our heart and tongue – mango. The mangoes called ‘King of Fruit’ are not only fantastic in taste, but it also gives many benefits to our health such as vitamins A, C, potassium and antioxidants. Various forms of mango, mangoes with rasa, jackfruit mango, mango pan or mango chutney, entice everyone’s heart. But do you know that common is not beneficial for everyone? Often people eat mangoes throughout the day for taste and pleasure, without thinking whether their health conditions allow it. Both Ayurveda and modern science make it clear that people with some special health conditions should avoid eating mangoes. In this article, we will learn about the same 6 types of people who should be distanced from mangoes, otherwise the taste can be heavy on health.
1. Diabetes patients
Mango is abundant in natural sugars, and its glycemic index is also high. This means that eating mangoes can increase blood sugar level very fast. For those who are in type-2 diabetes or pre-diabetic condition, common food can prove to be dangerous. Although sometimes a limited amount of mango food does not harm, 2-3 mango food daily can cause sugar spikes. Therefore, diabetic patients must consult a doctor before eating mangoes.
2. Those who have stomach problems or acidity
Mango is considered hot. In such a situation, common can be harmful for people who are already suffering from problems like gas, acid reflux or constipation. The common mango mangoes increase bile in the body, which can cause problems like stomach irritation, gas or vomiting. If you still want to eat mangoes, then it is better to soak it in water for a few hours before eating so that its heat is reduced to some extent. Also, do not take the mango with milk or curd as it can cause indigestion.
3. Skin allergy or eczema patient
Mango peel contains a natural element called urushiol. It is the same chemical that is also found in ‘poison ivy’ and causes skin allergies. Some people may have irritation, itching or rashes on the lips after eating mangoes, especially when the mango is eaten with peels or direct contact with mango juice. If you already have skin allergies or eczema, take full care before eating mangoes, always peel and wash the mangoes.
4. People who are struggling with obesity
The mango may be a natural fruit, but the natural sugar and calories present in it can play a role in weight gain. A mango can have up to 150 calories, and if you are on a weight loss diet, it can get your daily calorie limit crossed. Apart from this, eating mangoes leads to insulin spike in the body, which can speed up the process of accumulating fat. In such a situation, people who want weight loss should consume mangoes in limited quantity and in the morning.
5. Do not give more amount to young children
The digestive system of children is very delicate. If young children eat more mangoes simultaneously, they may complain of stomach pain, diarrhea or vomiting. Especially before giving mangoes to 1 to 3 years old, make sure that the mango is well ripe and is given in small amounts. Also, do not give children with mangoes too much cold things like ice or cold drinks as it can cause cold and cough.
6. Those who have problems related to kidney or liver
Mango contains high amounts of potassium and fructose, which can prove to be harmful for kidney or liver patients. Excessive intake of potassium can affect kidney function, and sugar control is very important in liver related diseases. If someone has problems like chronic kidney disease (CKD) or fatty liver, then it is prudent to consult a doctor before eating mangoes.
