While some call beans the magical fruit, the humble mango has earned an upfront place in the fruit line-up.
Let’s take a look at the benefits of this yummy fruit.
General Wellness Booster
A member of the cashew family, yes Really!, this sweet, juicy fruit is so good for you. Its delicious golden pulp is full of antioxidants, which play an essential role in protecting our cells from harmful free radicals. Snacking on mangoes is a simple way to support a healthy lifestyle.
Packed with Nutrients
Mangoes are a favorite, not only because they’re delicious but also because they’re very nutritious. One cup (165 grams) of this fresh superfood is low in calories while providing a myriad of vitamins and minerals. Pretty sweet!
Low in Calories
Containing fewer than 100 calories, one cup of fresh mango has a very low-calorie density, meaning that it has few calories for the volume of food it provides. Eating fresh fruit like mango at the start of a meal helps you feel full faster, keeping you from overeating.
Gives You a Healthy Glow
Eating mango is a great way to improve your skin from the inside out. Mangoes are rich in vitamin C, which plays a big role in skin health, giving your skin a healthy glow.
Boosts Your Immune System
Along with its high dose of Vitamin C and bonus antioxidants, mango helps supply our daily dose of Vitamin A. All of these are beneficial for your immune system, keeping it strong and healthy.
Aids in Digestive Health
Mangoes rank high in the fiber arena, and fiber is a must for promoting a healthy digestive system. Eating more fiber plays a role in helping control blood sugar, lowering cholesterol, and keeping you regular.
Keeping It in Focus
Move over carrots, mangoes are also good for the eyes. Full of carotenoids as well as vitamin A and beta carotene, these nutrients support healthy eyes and help maintain eyesight.
Good for Your Ticker
Mango contains nutrients that support a healthy heart. Magnesium and potassium assist in maintaining a healthy blood flow by helping your blood vessels relax, promoting lower blood pressure levels.
A Cancer Fighter
Adding a bit of mango into your diet may help reduce the risk of certain types of cancer while reducing inflammation. High in antioxidants and polyphenols (which have anti-cancer properties) mangoes may help protect against a harmful process called oxidative stress, which is linked to many types of cancer.
LET’S EAT
Mango is easy to add to your diet and easier than you think to cut up with these quick tips:
- Keeping the skin on, cut long vertical 1/4” slices away from the middle to separate the flesh from the center pit
- Cut the flesh on these slices into a grid-like pattern while keeping it attached to the skin
- Scoop the diced flesh off the skin
It’s tasty to toss in a green salad, add to smoothies, make into a fresh salsa or top your morning cereal.
