Mango is a fruit grown in the hotter parts of the earth, having an oval shape, a large seed, and juicy, orange-yellow flesh in color. Mangos have been an important crop in India for millennia.
No matter the type of mango you buy, these fruits offer some impressive health benefits.
Mangos were historically only available at the end of the dry season, today they can be found in grocery stores all year long.
Here is the health benefit of eating mango;
1. It helps lower the risk of cancer
Mangos are rich in beta-carotene, a pigment responsible for the yellow-orange color of the fruit. Beta-carotene is an antioxidant, just one of many found in mangos.
The antioxidants in mangos have been shown to fight free radicals, which can cause damage to your cells and potentially lead to cancer.
2. It helps in digestion
Eating mangos can help stabilize your digestive system. They offer both amylase compounds and dietary fiber, which can help you avoid constipation.
The fiber in mangos can be more effective for relieving constipation than equivalent fiber supplements. Interestingly, the mango tree leaves also appear to offer potential antidiarrheal activity thanks to plant chemicals in the leaves.
3. It helps in maintaining healthy skin & hair
Mangoes contain reasonable levels of vitamins A and C. Vitamin C is involved in forming collagen – the protein that acts as a scaffold to the skin, keeping it plump and firm.
4. It helps in supportive of eye
Mangos are rich in carotenoids which support eye health. They provide lutein and zeaxanthin in two carotenoids that play an important role in the eye’s retina, protecting it from sunlight and the blue light emitted from digital devices.
5. It helps in keeping the heart healthy
Mangos are also helpful for supporting your cardiovascular system. They are a great source of magnesium and potassium, both of which are connected to lower blood pressure and a regular pulse.
It also helps, several to reduce inflammation of the heart.
