Health Benefits of Mangos

Before we dive into today’s recipe, let’s take a look at some health benefits that mangos boast. The vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants in mangos can provide numerous health benefits. For example, vitamin K promotes healthy blood flow and helps forestall anemia. It also plays a vital role in helping sustain your bones. Mangos are also rich in vitamin C, which is essential for forming blood vessels and healthy collagen and helping you heal faster. Moreover, mangos may provide other benefits, such as:

Lower Risk of Cancer

Mangos are plentiful in beta-carotene, the pigment responsible for the color of the fruit. Beta-carotene is one of many antioxidants found in mangos. Antioxidants are known to combat the damaging effects of free radicals, which can harm your cells and possibly lead to cancer.

Heart Health

Mangos may also promote cardiovascular health. They are a prominent magnesium and potassium source, which is connected to lower blood pressure and a steady pulse. Furthermore, mangos contain a compound known as mangiferin, which initial studies suggest may reduce the heart’s inflammation.

Digestive Health

Mangos may help support a healthy digestive system. They carry both amylase compounds as well as dietary fiber, which can help avoid constipation issues. Amylase compounds are known to help break down foods in your stomach, dissolving complex starches. Meanwhile, the fiber in mangos effectively relieves constipation.
