Hello Doctor,

p>If I’m under 18 and weigh around 92 kgs, would it be ok if I take something to lose the weight? Something like African mango products.

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

1. I don’t think using African mango supplements for weight loss is a good idea, especially since these products may not be safe or effective for someone under 18. Instead, I recommend focusing on healthier habits: reduce the amount of fat and sugar in your diet, and aim to walk for at least 30 minutes every day.

2. Drink plenty of water and increase your intake of fruits and vegetables—raw options like cucumbers are especially good for dinner. Please give this a try for a few weeks and feel free to return for further guidance.

Thanks
