Health benefits of eating mango
For more than 4,000 years, mango reigned as one of the most favorite fruits in the country. It originated in Southeast Asian countries of Burma and the Himalayan region.
Containing high amounts of Vitamin C, beta carotene and antioxidants, mangoes are considered to be beneficial to human health. Here are some of the benefits we can get from eating these much-loved mangoes:
- Serves as blood cleanser
- Contains antioxidants that protect against cancer and heart disease
- Rich source of magnesium and potassium that help reduce blood pressure
- Has high amount of Iron that helps prevent anemia
- Low in calories so eating mangoes is effective means to control weight
- Helps improve digestion
- High in Vitamin A, which is important in "placental and fetus development"
The National Cancer Institute released a cancer prevention fact sheet in 2004, citing a Chinese Cancer Prevention Study that was published in 1993. The said study experimented on the combined effects of "beta-carotene, vitamin E and Selenium on cancer in healthy Chinese men and women at high risk [of] gastric cancer". The combination of the said elements resulted in significant reduction of "incidence of both gastric cancer and cancer overall".
Mangoes are rich in Vitamins A, E and Selenium. A cup of sliced mango (165g) already contains 25% of the daily required value for Vitamin A, 9% for Vitamin E and 1% for Selenium. Besides cancer prevention, eating mangoes may prevent heart disease and other degenerative diseases. Mango is also rich in fiber which helps prevent constipation and aids in cleansing the digestive tract. Eating mangoes can also be the solution to poor digestion because mangoes contain enzymes such as magneferin, katechol oxidase and lactase help cleanse the bowels, flushing away toxins in the body.
