A common nickname
for mangoes is actually
‘the king of fruits’.
Beyond the sweet,
luscious taste of
mangoes, they also
contain an abundance
of vitamins, minerals
and antioxidants that
assure your optimum
health.
Mango is rich in fiber,
so if you have at least
one mango every day
in your diet, you are
almost guaranteed to
prevent constipation,
piles and symptoms of
a spastic colon.
Here are the healthy
reasons why you
should be eating a
mango every day.
1. Fights cancer
Antioxidants like
quercetin,
isoquercitrin,
astragalin, fisetin,
gallic acid and
methylgallat present in
mango protect the
body against colon,
Brea5t, leukemia and
prostate cancers.
2. Keeps cholesterol in
check
Mango has high level
of vitamin C, pectin
and fibres that help to
lower serum
cholesterol levels.
Fresh mango is a rich
source of potassium,
which is an important
component of cell and
body fluids that helps
to control heart rate
and blood pressure.
3. Skin cleanser
Mangoes help you
unclog your pores and
add freshness to the
face. Mangoes are
applicable to any skin
type. They help clear
clogged pores that
cause acne. Just slice a
mango into thin
pieces and keep them
on your face for 10 to
15 minutes and then
take bath or wash
your face and see the
results.
4. Alkalizes the body
According to natural
health school.com,
mango is rich in
tartaric acid, malic acid
and traces of citric
acid that primarily help
in maintaining the
alkali reserve of the
body.
5. Weight loss
Mango has a lot of
vitamins and nutrients
that help the body feel
fuller. Also, the fibrous
fruit boosts the
digestive function of
the body by burning
additional calories,
helping in weight loss.
6. Regulates diabetes
Not only the fruit but
the leaves of mangoes
are healthy too. For
people suffering from
diabetes, just boil 5-6
mango leaves in a
vessel, soak it through
night and drink the
filtered decoction in
the morning. This is
helps in regulating
your insulin levels.
Mango has a low
glycemic index (41-60)
so going a little
overboard will not
increase your sugar
levels.
