How Mangoes can help with diabetes

❤️ 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 Gold Fish Plant? This is what the flower looks like

Nematanthus wettsteinii x fritschii Bijou - Goldfish Plant

🐟Why is it called Gold Fish Plant? This is what the flower looks like...

🐡 Q: I saw this beautiful plant called Gold Fish, with extremely ornamental leaves with bright mauve underneath, really stunning! But what do the flowers look like? What is it about Gold Fish?
🐡 A: Nematanthus wettsteinii x fritschii Bijou - is called Goldfish Plant because its bright orange, tubular flowers look just like tiny, plump goldfish swimming through the foliage!
🐡 The blooms have a rounded, slightly curved shape, with a glossy texture that mimics the shimmer of fish scales. As they dangle gracefully from the stems, they create the illusion of a school of little fish darting among the lush, trailing green leaves.
🐡 Beyond its fun name, this plant is easy to grow, thrives in bright, indirect light, and blooms year-round with proper care. A playful, eye-catching beauty for hanging baskets and indoor gardens!
