Hello everyone

Don’t you just love mangoes?

Mango is known as the king of fruits in some parts of the world. Mango is low in saturated fats, cholesterol, and sodium. It is an excellent source of antioxidants, vitamin C, vitamin B6, vitamin A, potassium, magnesium, iron, selenium, and copper.

The fruit is not just only delicious but also has many health benefits.

Having a healthy stomach is something we all want. No one wants to feel uneasy or, worse, constipated. That’s why you’ve got mangoes. They are good for your gut.

They help your stomach break down food so it can be absorbed into your system. This happens because of digestive enzymes found in ripe mangoes. Mangoes contain fiber which is of help to you if you are someone who experiences constipation.

Mangoes contain fiber, potassium, and lots of vitamins, which are good for the heart, and consuming lots of these healthy vitamins and minerals can prevent heart disease.

For instance, the potassium and magnesium found in mangoes have been shown to help maintain a healthy blood flow, relax your blood vessels and also help to lower your blood pressure.

  1. THEY CONTAIN ANTIOXIDANTS

Antioxidants are important for the body to stay healthy. Antioxidants protect the body from free radicals, which are harmful compounds that hurt the body at the cellular level.

Free radicals are linked to a good deal of unhealthy stuff like diabetes, cancer, and other diseases.

Mangoes contain a ‘super antioxidant ‘ called mangiferin, which is good for heart health.

  1. MANGOES ARE GOOD FOR YOUR EYE HEALTH.

Mango contains a lot of nutrients that are good for your eyes. We just talked about how they contain antioxidants. There are two types of antioxidants called lutein and zeaxanthin which help your eyes in a big way.

These compounds protect the retina and lenses in your eyes by absorbing excess light. They also protect your eyes from harmful blue light.

Lutein and zeaxanthin have been proven to your visual range (to help you physically see further) and can help your eyes adjust more easily after we have exposed them to bright light.

Mangoes are packed with a ton of vitamins that help your skin fight off wrinkles. The vitamin C found in mangoes would help boost your collagen levels. The collagen is why gives your skim its bounce and would prevent it from getting wrinkled or losing shape.

Mangoes are commonly used to treat acne. All you need to do is to apply the pulp to the affected areas for about ten minutes and rinse.

Mangoes are delicious, attractive, versatile, and easy to add to your diet. You can eat them sliced up on their own or you can add them to salads and smoothies. One small thing to keep in mind is that mangoes are sweet and contain more sugar than any other fruit. It’s best to limit yourself to about one mango a day.
