Mango causes heat in summer: Need to understand correctly

Kiều Vũ (Theo EHPM) |

For a long time, there has been a concept that eating mangoes, especially in the summer, can cause internal heat. How should this be understood?

Mango is a popular tropical fruit, loved by many people for its sweet and fragrant taste and high nutritional value. However, in folk culture, there is often a concept that eating mango, especially in the summer, can cause internal heat.

Mangoes contain many important vitamins such as vitamins C, A and antioxidants, which help strengthen the immune system and support the skin. The water content in mangoes is also quite high, contributing to replenishing water for the body in hot weather.

In terms of nutrition, mangoes are not a food that causes "heat" in the scientific sense, but on the contrary, they bring many benefits if used properly.

However, the feeling of heat after eating mangoes may stem from a number of reasons.

First, ripe mangoes have a fairly high natural sugar content. When consumed too much, this amount of sugar can increase heat in the body, causing some people to feel hot, easily get acne or uncomfortable.

Second, for people with sensitive constitutions, mangoes can cause mild irritation in the mouth or throat, thereby creating a burning sensation, easily misunderstood as internal heat.

How to eat mangoes to avoid causing internal heat

Besides, how to eat mangoes also affects the body's perception. Eating mangoes while hungry, or eating too much in a short time, can put pressure on the digestive system.

But if you eat mangoes combined with cool foods, drink enough water and maintain a balanced diet, the heat phenomenon almost does not occur.

An important point to emphasize is that the concept of "hot" mainly originates from traditional medicine and folk experience, and there is no clear definition in modern medicine. Therefore, this concept should not be absolutized but should be understood in the direction of personal feeling and body reaction.

Mangoes are not a direct cause of heat in the summer if eaten in reasonable quantities. On the contrary, they are also a good source of nutrition for health.

The important thing is that each person needs to adjust their diet to suit their constitution to take advantage of the benefits of mangoes without encountering unwanted discomforts.
