Any favorite product becomes a hundred times tastier when you learn about its benefits. Today I invite you to get acquainted with the wonderful properties of exotic mango.
The homeland of mango is India. There, this fruit is also called "Asian apple", and all thanks to its taste, which really remotely resembles an apple, but with notes of melon and citrus! For a long time, Indian physicians knew about its healing properties and used mango to treat cholera and plague, and also recommended for problems with the cardiovascular system.
Nowadays, scientists have proven that the fruit is rich in vitamins A, B, D, C and E, as well as iron, calcium, manganese, pectin, various organic acids and phosphorus necessary for life, so eating mango is an excellent immune support! Still, according to doctors, if you regularly sweeten your life with this fruit, then the likelihood of cancer of any organ will be reduced to a minimum!
Now about what functions are affected by all these substances, as well as about other useful properties of the product:
- Vitamin A helps to strengthen vision, which is very important when we are constantly surrounded by monitors.
- Iron will help in strengthening the cardiovascular system.
- Mango is rich in beta-carotene, which means that it protects us from ultraviolet radiation, which is useful in summer.
- Potassium has a beneficial effect on the heart, as well as increases resistance to stress and removes excess fluid from the body. Also, this fruit is an excellent means for removing bile.
- It has a mild laxative effect, so it will help improve gastrointestinal motility.
- Perfectly cleanses the liver from toxins!
- Has antipyretic effect.
- Helps to lose weight by normalizing metabolic processes in the body. By the way, the calorie content of the fruit: about 65 kcal per 100 g.
- Recommended for use in case of diseases of the oral cavity.
But you can get the whole range of useful properties only from ripe fruit. How to define it? Unfortunately, in appearance it is difficult to do this: there are about 300 different species, different in color and size. But you can choose a ripe fruit by touch and smell: the ripe fruit will be elastic and will have a bright aroma.
If you bought an unripe fruit, don't be discouraged. Leave it to ripen for several days in a dark place at room temperature. In no case should you buy overripe fruits! And also beware of mixing mangoes with alcohol - risk poisoning.
For the rest - eat it to your health!
