5 Amazing Benefits of Mangoes. (Admin: Bubble Chef) :) Why Mangoes are one of the best fruits in all the land, they quickly caved in :) Mangoes are what I considered a superfood because they’re jam packed with vitamins, enzymes, and antioxidants that help keep the body in check. 5 Amazing Benefits : 1. Helps Prevent Cancer- Mangoes contain various antioxidant compounds that help protect the body against colon, breast, leukemia, & prostate cancers. Some of these compounds include: quercetin, isoquercitrin, astragalin, fisetin, gallic acid and methylgallat. 2. Great Alkalizing Food- Mangoes are moderately alkaline forming foods that help maintain a healthy pH level in the body. They contain tartaric acid, malic acid, and a trace of citric acid that helps regulate the body’s alkali reserves. 3. Immune System Booster- Mangoes are full of Vitamin A, C, and 25 different caroteniods that help boost the immune system. 4. Lowers Cholesterol and Improves Digestion- Mangoes contain high levels of fiber, pectin, and Vitamin C that help improves digestion and lowers cholesterol. 5. Clears the Skin and Improves Eye Health- Full of beta-carotene and Vitamin C, simply applying mango to the face can help improve the skin’s elasticity and repair the cells. Vitamin A also helps maintain eye health, night blindness, and dry eyes. Simple Alkalizing Mango Water: Cut up 1 medium mango and add to a pitcher of water. Or you can blend the mango and add its juice to water or tea for a revitalizing drink. Mango Coconut Face Mask: Cut up 1 medium mango and mush it in a small bowl until it’s pulpy. Add 1 tsp of coconut oil to the bowl and apply to your face. Leave for 1-3 minutes and wash off using warm water. Your skin should feel refreshed and smooth.
