I used to think that “healthy” and “low calorie” meant “less than delicious.” I thought that “sweet” was a synonym of “fattening.” Then I met The Mango. One cup of fresh mango contains fewer than 100 calories, but packs 67% of the daily requirement for vitamin C.
A mango, an edible stone fruit produced by the tropical tree Mangifera indica, is believed to have originated from the region between northwestern Myanmar, Bangladesh, and northeastern India. Mango fruit varies in size, shape, sweetness, skin color, and flesh color which may be pale yellow, gold, green, or orange. It is the national fruit of India, Pakistan and the Philippines. The mango tree is the national tree of Bangladesh.
Mango reduces the risk of developing diabetes, boosts immunity, supports healthy heart fuction, aids digestive health, and may help prevent several kids of cancer. One cup of fresh mango contains fewer than 100 calories, but it packs 67% of the daily requirement for vitamin C. In moderate amounts, it reduce the risk of diabetes. Mango has over a dozen different types of polyphenols, which function as antioxidants. Several B vitamins, along with vitamins A, C, K, and E boost the immune system. Magnesium, potassium, and the antioxidant mangiferin support healthy heart function. Digestive enzymes, water, dietary fiber, and other compounds aid various aspects of digestive health. Lutein, zeaxanthin, and vitamin A support eye health. Lutein and zeaxanthin may protect your eyes from the sun, while a lack of vitamin A can create vision problems.
