African Mango Diet Miracle – Is Dr.Oz Right?
African mango seed extract is being touted
as the latest superpower in the fight against obesity. Does it hold up? I’m Kimberly Walleston, with a health and
wellness focus for Insider’s Health News. When Dr. Oz makes a claim about a new superfruit,
the world usually listens. For now, the internet is abuzz with the African
Mango, which provides an extract that boasts help with metabolism, cholesterol, and the
removal of toxins from your body. So we dug a little bit deeper to find out
everything you need to know about the exotic fruit.
The African Mango does seem to have some very
substantiated claims about its overall health benefits. Like many fruits, these bright green mangos
provide great hydration for your body. They also act as a potent dietary fiber that
can help relieve your system of fat and cholesterol, which will obviously aid weight loss and heart
health. And unlike many other fruits and vegetables,
the seeds are actually contain as many nutrients as the flesh. Because these seeds really pack a wallop,
the extract can be a good way to get some of the benefits of the fruit, without having
to order in a shipment from Africa. But there are some things to keep in mind
with any new diet fad. Due to its relatively new following, African
mango seed extract is not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. This also means that there are no major studies
about the trouble that prolonged use could cause, and already, some side effects have
been found. One small investigation showed that after
using the extract for more than 10 weeks, some people were experiencing painful abdominal
gas, difficulty sleeping, and headaches. So what’s the verdict from Insider’s Health
News? We give it a green light.
The most important thing to realize is that,
just like any new superfood or superdiet, you make sure to use it in moderation. A healthy lifestyle will give you the results
you’re craving, and if a few teaspoons of African Mango will help you achieve your fitness
goals, then have at it. Just make sure you’re getting it from a
trusted source.
Because if there’s one group of people that
like diet fads more than dieters… it’s scam artists. That’s it for this edition of Insider’s
Health TV. I’m your host, Kimberly Walleston. And remember: it’s your health. We’re just helping you think outside the
box..
