MANGOS

1. High in Vitamin C

  • One cup of mango gives you over 60% of your daily Vitamin C, which:

    • Strengthens the immune system

    • Promotes collagen production (for healthy skin and joints)

    • Enhances iron absorption

2. Rich in Antioxidants

  • Mangoes are full of polyphenols like mangiferin, quercetin, and beta-carotene, which:

    • Help protect cells from oxidative stress

    • May lower the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and certain cancers

3. Supports Eye Health

  • High in vitamin A and lutein + zeaxanthin, which:

    • Help protect vision

    • Reduce the risk of macular degeneration and night blindness

4. Aids Digestion

  • Contains digestive enzymes (like amylases) that break down carbs.

  • The fiber content helps prevent constipation and promotes gut health.

5. Boosts Skin and Hair Health

  • Vitamin A and C support the production of collagen and sebum, essential for a glowing complexion and healthy scalp.

6. May Support Heart Health

  • Nutrients like potassium, magnesium, and antioxidants help control blood pressure and protect blood vessels.

7. Naturally Low in Fat and Cholesterol-Free

  • Sweet and satisfying without added sugar or unhealthy fats—great for managing cravings in a healthier way.


⚠️ Things to Keep in Mind:

  • Mangoes are moderately high in natural sugars, so portion size matters—especially for people managing blood sugar.

  • Best enjoyed fresh or frozen, rather than in sugary dried or syrup-packed forms.
