Mangoes are juicy stone fruit (drupe)
from numerous species of tropical trees belonging to the flowering plant genus
Mangifera, cultivated mostly for their edible fruit. Mango is known as the king
of fruits. Mangoes belong to the same family as that of pistachios, gandaria, mombin,
and cashews. Common names for mangoes are mangot, manga, and mangou, depending
on the region or nation. They originated in southern Asia, more specifically in
Burma and eastern India, almost 4,000 years ago. Mangoes are very low in saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium.
They are also an excellent source of dietary fiber and vitamin B6, as well as a
good source of vitamin A and vitamin C. They are rich in minerals like
potassium, magnesium, and copper.
Health Benefits of Mangoes
Boost Immunity: mangoes are rich in beta-carotene, which helps to
enhance the immune system and make it impervious to bacteria and toxins.
Useful in Pregnancy: Mangoes are beneficial for pregnant women since
they accomplish the iron requirements during pregnancy.
Maintain Overall Health: Mangoes have an extraordinary vitamin
content that assures overall health. They are rich in potassium (4% in 156 mg)
and magnesium (2% in 9 mg) and are a great remedy for high blood pressure.
Promote Brain Health: Mangoes have rich amounts of vitamin B6, which
is vital for maintaining and improving the brain’s function.
Prevent Cancer: Mangoes have high amounts of pectin, a soluble
dietary fiber that efficiently contributes to lower cholesterol levels in the
blood. Pectin can also aid to prevent developing prostate cancer.
Promote Weight Gain: Consuming mango is one of the easiest ways to
gain weight. 150g of mango has around 86 calories, which can be absorbed easily
by the body. Furthermore, they contain starch, which transforms into sugar and
aids in gaining weight.

help to produce collagen proteins inside the body. Collagen helps to protect
blood vessels and the body’s connective tissues.
