thebalanced.newsDoctor Advises Moderation in Consuming Summer Fruits Like Mangoes and Watermelons
Indian summer fruits like mangoes, watermelons, and litchis offer valuable nutrients such as fiber, vitamin C, and potassium but contain fructose, which can impact metabolic health if consumed excessively. Experts advise moderation, especially for individuals with diabetes, obesity, or fatty liver disease. For example, half a medium mango (about 100 grams) is recommended daily for diabetics, while others can include one small to medium mango in their diet. Consuming whole fruits as snacks rather than with meals is suggested to manage sugar intake effectively.
