Summer can be a killer in India, but there’s one major benefit to it… It’s the season of the country’s favourite summer fruit! If you love mangoes too and can’t wait to get your daily dose of this nutritious fruit, you’re doing your body a favour. Along with being one of the yummiest fruits ever, it is also very healthy and filled with vitamins and antioxidants.
Here are 5 top health benefits of mangoes…
Mangoes are rich in anti-oxidants and helps prevent breast cancer, leukemia, prostate cancer and colon cancer.
If you want improved hair growth, mango is your fruit. It has essential vitamins that clears dandruff, conditions your hair and prevents hair loss.
Applying raw mango to your face can do wonders for your face. It can help you get glowing skin, remove black heads, reduce dark spots, treat acne and delay the onset of aging!
High quantity of Vitamin C in mangoes boosts your immune system.
Mangoes are great for you if you are working on improving your metabolic rate (and who isn’t!), all thanks to the high fiber content of this fruit.
But in spite of all the goodness, remember—don’t overindulge! Mangoes are high is sugar, so it can spike your blood sugar level. Ripe mangoes can be quite ‘heaty’ and give rise to heat boils. (Raw mangoes are not… they are actually considered cooling—hence the popular use of aam panna). And all that wonderful fiber can mean loose motions in case you decide to have one too many!
So enjoy the king of fruits in all its glory—its time for mango smoothies, lassis, juice, ice cream, mango chutney, mango pickle, mango panna and a lot more… but in moderation!
