According to some, more mangos are eaten fresh than any other fruit in the world.
Originated 4,000 plus years ago.
Biologically a close relative with other flowering plants like
cashew and pistachio.
Originated in sub-Himalayan plains.
In India where they are most heavily grown and eaten, mangos are known as “safeda.”
There are over 1,000 different varieties of mangos.
Health Benefits of Mangoes:
1. Prevents Cancer:
Research has shown antioxidant compounds in mango fruit
have been found to protect against colon, breast, leukemia and prostate cancers. These compounds include quercetin,
isoquercitrin, astragalin, fisetin, gallic acid and methylgallat,
as well as the abundant enzymes.
2. Lowers Cholesterol:
The high levels of fiber, pectin and vitamin C help to lower
serum cholesterol levels, specifically Low-Density Lipoprotein (the bad stuff)
3. Clears the Skin:
Can be used both internally and externally for the skin. Mangos clear clogged pores and eliminate pimples.
4. 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.
5. Alkalizes the Whole Body:
The tartaric acid, malic acid, and a trace of citric acid found in the fruit help to maintain the alkali reserve of the
body.
6. Helps in 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 have a
relatively low glycemic index (41-60) so moderate quantities
will not spike your sugar levels.
7. Improved Sex:
Mangos 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 (as from whole food) does help in this area.
8. Improves Digestion:
Papayas or paw paw are not the only fruit that contain enzymes for breaking down protein. There are several fruits, including
mangoes, which have this healthful quality. The fiber in mangos also helps digestion and elimination.
9. Remedy for Heat Stroke
Juicing the fruit from green mango and mixing with water
and a sweetener helps to cool down the body and prevent
harm to the body. From an ayurvedic viewpoint, the reason people often get diuretic and exhausted when visiting
equatorial climates is because the strong “sun energy” is
burning up your body, particularly the muscles. The kidneys then become overloaded with the toxins from this
process.
10. Boosts Immune system
The generous amounts of vitamin C and vitamin A in mangos, plus 25 different kinds of carotenoids keep your
immune system healthy and strong.
