Mangoes Nutrition Facts
Mangoes are very
low in saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium. They are also an excellent
source of dietary fiber and vitamin B6, as well as a good source of vitamin A
and vitamin C. They are rich in minerals like potassium, magnesium, and copper,
and they are one of the best sources of quercetin, beta-carotene, and
astragalin. These powerful antioxidants have the power to neutralize free
radicals throughout the body. Heart diseases, premature aging, cancer, and
degenerative diseases are due to these free radicals that damage the cells.
Health Benefits of Mangoes
The tonic made from mangoes in Chinese herbal medicine is
known as yin tonic, and it is used to treat bleeding gums, anemia, cough,
constipation, nausea, fever, seasickness, and as a cure for weak digestion.
Prevent Cancer
Mangoes have high amounts of pectin, a soluble dietary fiber
that efficiently contributes to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. Pectin
can also help prevent the development of
prostate cancer. Recently, studies at The Institute for Food Research
discovered that a compound within pectin combines with galectin 3 (a protein
playing a significant role in all the stages of cancer). The European
Prospective Investigation of Cancer also has come up with a strong association
between eating a mango and lowering the risk of cancer of the gastrointestinal
tract.
Lowers Cholesterol
The high levels of fiber, pectin and vitamin C help to lower
serum cholesterol levels, specifically Low-Density Lipoprotein (the bad stuff).
Clears the Skin
Can be used both internally and externally for the skin. Mangoes
help clear clogged pores and eliminate pimples.
Improves Eye Health:
One cup of sliced mangoes supplies 25 percent of the needed
daily value of vitamin A, which promotes good eyesight and prevents night
blindness and dry eyes.
Alkalizes the Whole Body:
The tartaric acid, malic acid, and a trace of citric acid
found in the Mango fruit help to
maintain the alkali reserve of the body.
May Help with Diabetes
Mango leaves help normalize insulin levels in the blood. The
traditional home remedy involves boiling leaves in water, soaking through the
night and then consuming the filtered decoction in the morning. Mango fruit
also has a relatively low glycemic index (41-60) so moderate quantities will
not spike your sugar levels.
Promotes Healthy Sex
Mangoes are a great
source of vitamin E. Even though the popular connection between sex drive and
vitamin E was originally created by a mistaken generalization on rat studies,
further research has shown balanced proper amounts (from whole foods) does
help.
