Could eating avocado and mango daily help people with early diabetes?

Chicago, USAWed Apr 29 2026
A recent study tested whether two fruits—avocado and mango—could help adults who are at risk of diabetes. The research found that eating one avocado and one cup of mango every day for two months improved blood flow and slightly lowered blood pressure in men with prediabetes. Scientists believe the good results come from the special mix of nutrients in these fruits, like fiber, potassium, vitamin C, and healthy fats.
But there are a few things to keep in mind. The study was small, with only 68 people taking part, and most of the blood pressure benefits were seen only in men. Also, the research was paid for by groups that promote avocados and mangos, which might influence the results. Experts say more studies with more people and over a longer time are needed to confirm these findings. Even with its limits, the study adds to the idea that small, healthy food swaps can make a difference. Instead of processed snacks, adding whole fruits like avocado and mango may help keep the heart healthy. But because avocados are high in calories and mangos have sugar, it’s best to enjoy them in moderation.
