Mangoes are a staple summer fruit in India, enjoyed in various forms such as shakes and desserts. Despite their popularity, a common concern is whether they cause pimples or increase body heat. Archana S, Chief Dietitian at KIMS Hospitals, clarifies that mangoes, when eaten in moderation, do not inherently cause skin issues. They are packed with vitamins A, C, and E, and antioxidants. However, the natural sugars and carbohydrates in mangoes can spike blood sugar levels if consumed excessively, leading to inflammation and potential acne flare-ups. Additionally, sugary mango desserts and processed drinks can exacerbate acne for some individuals. The notion that mangoes increase body heat is rooted in traditional beliefs, with some people experiencing discomfort after overeating, particularly in hot weather. To enjoy mangoes safely, it is advisable to soak them in water for 20 to 30 minutes before consumption and maintain portion control. For those with diabetes or severe acne, consulting a healthcare professional is recommended. Overall, mangoes can be enjoyed without fear of skin issues when consumed properly and in moderation.
