Mango
Mangoes taste so delicious that people often forget how healthy they really are. Mangoes are high in Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin B1, and B2, niacin, potassium, iron, and fiber. They are good for the kidneys, digestive system of the body and the skin.
Acid Reflux
Acid reflux occurs when digestive fluid backs up past the lower esophageal sphincter into your esophagus. When this happens, you feel a burning pain in your chest or abdomen. The tartaric acid, malic acid, and a trace of citric acid found in mangoes help to neutralize acid. The juice of the mango also coats the lining of the esophagus, relieving any pain caused by the acid moving upwards.
Cancer
Mangoes are rich in phenols, such as quercetin, isoquercitrin, astragalin, fisetin, gallic acid and methylgallat, and enzymes which have cancer preventing capacities. Mangoes are also high in a soluble fiber which has been linked to a lower risk of cancers of the gastrointestinal tract. Mangoes also provide vitamin C which helps protect cells from free radical damage and reduces the risk of cancer.
High Cholesterol
Mangoes have high levels of soluble fiber, Pectin and Vitamin C, all of which help to lower serum cholesterol levels, especially LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol). Research suggests that compounds in mangoes could ease the effects of high cholesterol.
Low Sex Drive
Mangoes are rich in vitamin E which has been shown to help to regulate sex hormones and boosts sex drive.
Skin Problems
If you suffer from skin problems, you may want to think about adding mangoes to your diet. Applying mangoes directly to the skin will help to get rid of clogged pores, however eating mangoes regularly helps to reduce dry skin and flakiness, leaving the skin soft and shining from the inside out.
