Mango Benefits 1

We hear all the time how the benefits of mangos can be very personal. Maybe this special fruit evokes fond memories of eating mangos as a child. Or maybe you just love adding a pop of tropical flavor to otherwise simple dishes. But what are the benefits of mangos?

 

Mangos contain nutrients and antioxidants.

Mangos contain over 20 different vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin A, folate, and fiber.

One cup of mango provides 35% of your daily vitamin A, 100% of your daily vitamin C, and 10% of your daily vitamin B6. One cup of mango is also an excellent source of folate, making up 20% of your daily requirement and also copper, making up 10% of your daily needs.

 

Mangos can help you feel full.

One cup of mango contains 12% of your daily fiber. Because fiber slows the absorption of sugar in the bloodstream, the fiber in mangos makes you feel full faster. Since you stop eating when you feel full, fiber can help support weight management.

Mangos can help boost your immunity.

Combat colds with mangos! One cup of mango contains 100% of the daily value of Vitamin C. The antioxidant vitamin C found in mangos plays an important role in immune function. In addition to boosting your immune system, vitamin C supports healthy cognitive and neurologic function and helps in wound healing. Mangos also contain 10% of your daily copper, which helps form red blood cells, while also supporting healthy immune function, as well.

 

Mangos can assist in gut and digestive health.

The scientists at Texas A & M University found that mango, which contains a combination of polyphenols and fiber, was more effective than an equivalent amount of fiber powder in relieving constipation – a chronic digestive condition that affects an estimated 20 percent of Americans. You can read more about their findings here, but keep in mind, the research is always evolving.

Mango Benefits 3

 

Mangos plays a role in eye health.

One cup of mango is high in the antioxidant vitamin A, which is critical for vision. With 35% of your daily vitamin A, eating a mango is a super easy way to work this antioxidant into your diet.

 

Mangos are easy to add to your diet.

From savory tacos to sweet desserts, mangos can fit in just about any recipe. This versatile fruit adds a pop of sunshiney flavor to any recipe. Check out our recipe archive for over 300 to choose from.

In conclusion, mangos have several health benefits including boosting your immunity and digestive health. Most importantly, mangos are a delicious treat and are an easy way to add vitamins and antioxidants into your diet.
