Under normal circumstances, mangoes and milk can be consumed together, but should be eaten in moderation. Mango is a fruit rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, fiber, and various minerals, offering benefits such as boosting immunity and promoting digestion. Milk, rich in protein, calcium, and vitamin D, plays an important role in maintaining bone health, muscle growth, and normal metabolic function.

However, it's important to consume them in moderation to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort caused by excessive intake. Some individuals may be allergic to certain components in mangoes or milk. If someone has a history of food allergies, particularly to mangoes or dairy products, a small test serving is recommended before trying this combination, to check for any adverse reactions. When consuming mangoes and milk, it's necessary to make appropriate dietary arrangements according to one's own physical condition and eating habits. It is advisable to reasonably combine foods in daily diets based on individual health status, while also paying attention to food freshness and hygiene to prevent foodborne illnesses.
