Overweight and obesity is a problem that is quite disturbing to many people. Unfortunately, attempts to lose weight often fail because of lack of discipline in keeping the diet. To help you lose weight and prevent obesity, it’s good to eat lots of mangoes and their skins intact. According to a study in Australia, led by Professor Mike Gidley of the Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation, two types of mango skin called Irwin mango and Nam Dok Mai mango can slow the buildup of fat in human cells.

The skin of these two types of mangoes are rich in bioactive ingredients.”Our findings suggest that the phytochemical composition of the mango is effective in inhibiting the process of adipogenesis, which is a process that plays an important lead to obesity. Mango skin is a useful source of nutrients to cells,” said prof Counselheal.com Gidley.

In a study published in the journal Food & Function, researchers analyzed the chemical components of the skin and flesh extracts from three kinds of mangoes. Result, the skin of the mango variety Nam Dok Mai Irwin and significantly inhibited the process of adipogenesis, or fat-storing cells.”We know mangoes contain nutrients that are good. But more research needs to be done to understand the complex natural compounds found in fruits and other fruits,” said Gidley.

According to Gidley, fruit indeed often have very different chemical composition on the skin and flesh. A detailed chemical analysis of the skin and flesh of the fruit is very valuable for farmers or others who are always looking for more value over the fruit produced.”Obesity is associated with many chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, and breast and colon cancer.

There is plenty of evidence that a chemical found naturally in fruits can inhibit the accumulation of fat cells and prevent obesity,” said Gidley.Research conducted Gidley reminds the benefits of eating fruit to eat along with the skin for the sake of health. Some fruits such as apples and pears are also more beneficial for health if eaten with the skin. To lose weight and avoid obesity, the researchers also suggested to increase the sport and do not spend much time sitting. Consumption of fatty foods should also be avoided.
