Available fruit plays significant role in regulating sugar, weight loss
Washington - Saba:
A new American study has shown that a type of fruit plays a significant role in regulating blood sugar levels and weight loss.
Nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar, who conducted the study, explained that mangoes are a good source of fiber, antioxidants, and polyphenols, and play an important role in regulating blood sugar levels and weight loss.
Nutritionist Rujuta revealed the nutritional value of mangoes, explaining that a medium-sized ripe mango, weighing approximately 200-250 grams, contains 99 calories, 25 grams of carbohydrates, 23 grams of sugar, 3 grams of dietary fiber, 1.4 grams of protein, 0.6 grams of fat, 60 mg of vitamin C, 112 micrograms of vitamin A, 71 micrograms of folic acid, vitamins E and K, potassium, and magnesium.
Rujuta advised soaking mangoes for half an hour before eating them, explaining that mangoes are rich in fiber, which promotes satiety and aids in weight loss. They are also rich in antioxidants and polyphenols, and have a low glycemic index and can help regulate blood sugar when consumed in moderation.
According to a study published by the US National Library of Medicine, consuming mangoes in various forms has many positive effects, such as improvements in blood sugar control and plasma lipid levels.
Eating mangoes also improves mood, enhances physical performance during exercise, improves endothelial function, and reduces the incidence of respiratory infections.

27 Palestinians Martyred in 'Aid Massacre' in Southern Gaza Strip
Gaza – SABA: The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) confirmed that 27 Palestinians were martyred early Tuesday due to gunfire near an aid distribution center west of Rafah city in southern Gaza Strip, in an incident that sparked widespread international condemnation and calls for an independent investigation. Earlier in the day, Palestinian sources reported that 27 people were killed and more than 90 others injured as a result of Israeli occupation forces shelling and opening fire on thousands heading to the aid center west of Rafah. In a statement, the ICRC said its field hospital in Rafah received 184 wounded individuals, 19 of whom were declared dead upon arrival, while 8 others later succumbed to their injuries. The committee noted that 'most of the injuries were gunshot wounds.' It described the incident as 'the deadliest in terms of casualties since the hospital was established over a year ago,' stressing that the number of victims far exceeded the hospital's 60-bed capacity. Meanwhile, Mahmoud Basal, spokesperson for Gaza's Civil Defense, said the massacre targeted citizens waiting for American aid near the Al-Alam roundabout in the Al-Mawasi area west of Rafah, adding that more than 90 people were injured in the attack. On the international front, UN Secretary-General António Guterres strongly condemned the incident, calling it 'unacceptable.' His spokesperson, Stéphane Dujarric, said: 'Civilians should not lose their lives simply because they are trying to get food,' reiterating the Secretary-General's call for an immediate and independent investigation and for those responsible to be held accountable. This deadly incident comes amid catastrophic humanitarian conditions in Gaza, where the population faces severe shortages of food, water, and medicine after nearly twenty months of an ongoing genocide, and where humanitarian aid delivery remains an immense challenge.

British doctor working in Gaza: We face daily influx of injured, amputated children
London – Saba: A British doctor working in the Gaza Strip said she faces a daily influx of children arriving at the hospital with amputated limbs. British doctor Victoria Rose told The Sunday Times: "First there's the six-year-old girl whose left cheek and shoulder were amputated, then the two-year-old girl, the baby, the three-year-old orphan boy, the four-year-old boy, and the 11-year-old boy who lost all nine of his siblings." The 53-year-old doctor added: "We always start with the children. Most of those on my list are injured by explosions that have injured young children, including amputated arms, legs, and hands," according to the Palestinian news agency Safa. She continued, "It makes me feel very angry, but I can't stop thinking about them or stop working." Rose noted that on most days, she works 14 hours a day until 11:00 PM, after which she tries to get some rest in the women's dormitory behind the intensive care unit. The Israeli bombing usually begins at 4:00 AM. The British doctor noted that despite the long hours and exhaustion, she tries to continue her work by maintaining a video diary on Instagram to show people abroad, knowing that Israel does not allow foreign journalists into Gaza, and that doctors like her play an important role as "the eyes and ears of the outside world." With American and European support, the Israeli enemy army has been committing genocidal crimes in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, resulting in the deaths of 54,470 Palestinian civilians, the majority of whom are children and women, and the injury of 124,693 others. To date, the death toll is incomplete, with thousands of victims still buried under the rubble and on the streets, unable to be reached by ambulance and rescue crews. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print
