Author: Irvingia–South African Mango diet pill ?
I recently came across an advertisement for African Mango diet pills. In an effort to see what this new diet sensation (maybe) is all about, I headed over to Wikipedia to see what they have to say about it. It looks like it is a nutritious food from Africa and Southeast Asia, but no talk of it being a diet supplement. I will keep an eye out for more information and share it when I know more.
For now, you can see what Wikipedia has to say below.
Irvingia is a genus of African and Southeast Asian trees in the family Irvingiaceae, sometimes known by the common names wild mango, African mango, or bush mango. They bear edible mango-like fruits, and are especially valued for their fat- and protein-rich nuts, known as ogbono, etima, odika, or dika nuts.
The subtly aromatic nuts are typically dried in the sun for preservation, and are sold whole or in powder form. They may be ground to a paste known variously as dika bread or Gabon chocolate. Their high content of mucilage enables them to be used as thickening agents for dishes such as ogbono soup. The nuts may also be pressed for vegetable oil.
Food Fight!
Some foods may seem pretty similar nutrition wise at a glance (like chicken breast and turkey breast). But are they really? Is one better than the other? Click on the link to see tons of food match ups (like strawberries vs. blueberries) and which is better for you and why (blueberries are better for you, click on the link to find out why).
As a health-savvy runner, you try to toss nutrient-packed foods into your grocery cart. But when you’re deciding between similar-seeming nutritious items (say, turkey or chicken?), you may not know the superior choice. "Food is your fuel," says Mitzi Dulan, R.D., co-author of The All-Pro Diet. "Selecting the most nutritious options will improve your diet and give you a competitive edge." While you can’t go wrong eating both quinoa and brown rice, choosing the nutritional champ may give your running the boost it needs. In a healthy-food smackdown, here are our winning picks.
