  • 💛✨🙌 #Repost @cyn_sass ・・・ Fresh in-season fruit is pure bliss, and mango is among the sweetest and juiciest gems. It also provides some key performance-related perks. Here are 5, along with simple ways to incorporate more mango into both sweet and savory dishes. . ✔️ Mangos pack over a dozen types of polyphenols, compounds with antioxidant activity known to fend off DNA damage that can harm cells. . ✔️ One cup of mango provides about a quarter of the daily target for vitamin A. This nutrient is required for proper immune function, and a shortfall is associated with an increased susceptibility to infections. . ✔️One cup of mango supplies about 75% of the daily minimum vitamin C intake. This nutrient also supports immunity, and is needed to make collagen. . ✔️ The antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin found in mangos enhance eye health. The two natural compounds, which protect the retina and lens, and have been shown to: increase visual range; lessen discomfort from glare; enhance visual contrast; and reduce the time it takes the eyes to recover from the stress of bright lights. . ✔️It seems unlikely that such a sweet food would improve blood sugar regulation, but that was the conclusion of one recent study. Volunteers who ate 10 grams a day of ground freeze-dried mango pulp (equivalent to about half of a fresh mango) had significantly reduced blood glucose levels after 12 weeks. Researchers believe bioactive components in the fruit, including fiber and antioxidants, may be at work. . 🧐 For more about mango’s health benefits, check out my latest @healthmagazine blog (link in bio). . 🍴 I love to whip mango into smoothies, add mango to salsa, slaw, black bean tacos, stir frys, and garden salads. It’s also terrific over cooked fish, or mixed into whole grains, like quinoa or wild rice. Mango makes a delicious and colorful addition to desserts and treats, including chia pudding, coconut milk ice cream, or festive mango lime margaritas! . 👉 Are you a mango lover? What’s your favorite way to enjoy it?
