Mango for weight loss. Mango peel would help burn fat and thus promote weight loss.
Don't store avocado like this: it's dangerousIl mango for weight loss. The mango peel would help burn fat and would therefore promote weight loss.
To reveal these singular properties of one of the tropical fruits par excellence (and in particular of its external rind) is a study of University of Queensland, in Australia, also published in the scientific journal Food and Function della Royal Society of Chemistry.
According to the Australian study, the peel of two varieties of this fruit, called Irwin e Nam Doc Mai, prevents the formation of fat cells, thus preventing the'adipogenesis, which is the process that develops fat cells in the body.
In fact, from the data that emerged from the research, all tropical fruits, and mango in particular, contain a large amount of natural substances, present in different combinations, capable of block the formation of fat cells, responsible for the accumulation of fats.
But how did they come to these conclusions?
The researchers analyzed the consumption of this fruit and the lifestyle of some populations of South America, where these fruits are cheap and therefore very widespread, and have found a close link between the habit of consuming mango and the effects on the human body.
In particular, the attention of experts has contracted on three varieties of this fruit, also comparing the characteristics of the peel and those of the pulp. And while Irwin and Nam Doc Mai allow you to lose weight by burning accumulated fats, the third gave a slight increase in weight.
"Probably responsible for the differences - said Greg Monteith, lead author of the study - lies in a complex interaction of bioactive compounds unique to each peel extract".
At this point, scholars will have to analyze the possible side effects: according to some intuitions, in fact, the inhibition of adipogenesis could lead to increase type 2 diabetes.
