❤️ How Mangoes can help with diabetes
  • A new study shows that eating fresh mangoes may support better blood sugar control. Researchers at the Illinois Institute of Technology found that overweight adults who ate mangoes daily experienced significant reductions in insulin resistance - a key factor in preventing type 2 diabetes.
  • Mangoes also improved beta-cell function, helping the pancreas produce and release insulin more effectively. After just four weeks, participants had noticeably lower insulin levels, with no changes in the control group.
  • While mangoes are naturally sweet and rich in fiber, portion control and balanced carbs are still important. But when enjoyed as part of a healthy diet, mangoes could be a tasty way to support blood sugar balance and metabolic health.

Why is it called Nun Orchid. A Top Tropicals Garden Blog post.

🌹 Why is it called Nun Orchid
  • 🔠 Phaius tankervilleae – Chinese Ground Orchid - is a magnificent terrestrial orchid. It is also called the Nun Orchid because its flowers resemble the traditional white wimple and brown habit worn by nuns. The graceful, nodding blooms with white, rose, and brown hues create a shape reminiscent of a nun's veil. A truly heavenly plant!
  • 🔠 It forms large clumps of bold, sword-like leaves and sends up towering flower spikes that can reach four feet tall! Each spike carries 10-20 fragrant blooms, unfurling in succession for an extended show.
  • 🔠 The flowers are a striking mix of white, rose, and brown, blooming brilliantly in late spring, with peak flowering in March and April.
  • 🔠 This hardy orchid spreads naturally, producing a new plant each year from a short bulb-like runner. It prefers shade, especially under trees, and can handle dry periods before its grand floral display.
  • 🔠 Perfect for mass plantings, as a specimen in part shade, or even in pots, this orchid brings grace, beauty, and an exotic touch.
