Benefits of Mango

 


Health Benefits of Mango:

1. Boosts the Immune System: 
Mangos contain large amounts of vitamin C and vitamin A as well as 25 different kinds of carotenoids that will keep your immune system healthy and strong.

2. Improves Digestion: 
Mangos contain enzymes for breaking down protein which cab help to improve your digestion. The fiber in mangos also provides additional help with digestion and elimination.

3. Lowers Cholesterol: 
The high levels of fiber, pectin and vitamin C help to lower serum cholesterol levels, specifically Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) which is known as the bad cholesterol. 
4. Prevents Cancer: 
Many research studies have found that the antioxidant compounds found in mangos may protect against colon, breast, leukemia and prostate cancers.  Quercetin, isoquercitrin, astragalin, fisetin, gallic acid and methylgallat are a few of the compounds found in mangos that have shown the ability to prevent cancer 
5. Reduces Acne: 
Mangos are versatile for your skin and can be used both internally and externally. Eating mangos provides the body with the nutrients it needs to detoxify and improve skin from within. Mangos can be used as a face mask externally to help clear clogged pores and eliminate pimples.
