Fruit Tastes Like Candy

Fruits like mango may taste sweet like candy, like my son thinks, but it is rich in health-boosting polyphenols & carotenoids.

What are polyphenols & carotenoids?

About Carotenoids

Fruits and vegetables that are high in carotenoids appear to protect humans against certain cancers, heart disease, and age-related macular degeneration.

About Polyphenols

Also known as secondary plant metabolites, polyphenols are natural components of a wide variety of plants. Foods rich in polyphenols include: onions, apples, tea, red wine, red grapes, grape juice, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, cranberries, & some nuts. Polyphenols are subclassified in nonflavonoids & flavonoids. Flavonoids have been linked to a lower risk of heart disease in some studies.
Common Phytonutrients include:
  • Carotenoids
  • Coumarins
  • Flavonoids
  • Indoles
  • Lignans
  • Isoflavones(including Genistein & Daidzen)
  • Organosulfurs
  • Phytosterols or Phytohormones

What are PhytoNutrients?

Phytonutrients are nutrients derived from plants that have been shown to be necessary for sustaining life. Also called phytochemicals, phytonutrients are natural bioactive compounds found in fruits & vegetables that work together with vitamins, minerals, & fiber to promote good health.

Mango may, also, help improve glucose levels.  In one study, participants lowered their blood sugar significantly in 12 weeks by eating 2/3 cup, approximately 65 calories, of mango daily.

OmniTrim Extra Enhancer® contains chromium, which is an essential mineral. Chromium levels decline with age & most adults are deficient. Chromium helps to promote fat loss & lean muscle tension. It may reduce the risk of glucose intolerance. Great for people with diabetes or hypoglycemia! OmniTrim Extra Enhancer may help balance blood sugar.
According to researchers, fiber can slow sugar absorption, as well, which may explain how mango helps lower blood sugar.
