Summary

This study looks at whether eating a mango every day for 4 weeks, instead of high-calorie snacks, can improve gut health, reduce inflammation, and boost heart health in Hispanic/Latino teens. Researchers will measure blood markers and blood vessel function in 25 participants. The goal is to see if this simple dietary change can make a real difference.
