Thursday, February 15, 2024

ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Women trying to conceive, currently pregnant or lactating have unique nutritional needs often unmet by current dietary choices. A recent study, published in Nutrients, shows a significant finding: when mangos are incorporated into the diets of women of childbearing age (WCA), both overall diet quality and the intake of vital nutrients crucial for a healthy pregnancy markedly improve. These nutrients, often under consumed by 10 – 30% in the diets of pregnant women, see a significant boost in intake when mangos are consumed.

Key Points: 
  • Findings among mango eaters versus non-mango eaters show a 13% higher HEI score; higher intakes of fiber and vitamin C; and lower intakes of cholesterol, niacin, phosphorus, protein, riboflavin, saturated fat and vitamin B12.
  • "These findings add to a growing body of research showing the positive impacts of adding mangos to diverse diets," says Leonardo Ortega, PhD, Research Director, National Mango Board.
  • Food and nutrient intakes were determined based on two 24-hour dietary recalls using dietary components from NHANES and What We Eat in America surveys.
  • Nutrient intakes were obtained from both interviews, and usual intake was determined by using the National Cancer Institute method.
