Let’s take a moment to learn more about the nutritional benefits of mango.


Mango 🥭 offers:

high fiber

Vitamin A

Vitamin C

Vitamin B6

Vitamin E

Zinc

Iron

good source of antioxidants

phytochemicals (gallotannins and mangiferin which have been studied for their health benefits)


Mango promotes:

healthy digestion

healthy skin

healthy heart


A couple studies have demonstrated evidence linking an association between mango and healthy benefits for the above health promotions.


For instance, one study found that after consuming mango for four weeks there was a significant improvement in constipation status seen among participants. There was improvement in the frequency of stool, the shape and consistency. (Venacio et al., 2018,n.p.)


Mango is a big source of Vitamin C an antioxidant that is an important element involved in formation of collagen and is one of the most important antioxidant that helps protect the skin from any environmental damage.  At any given moment, a deficiency of Vitamin C affects wound healing.


This is in part due to “Vitamin C turnover at wound sites, due to both local inflammation and the demands of increased collagen production, means that supplementation is useful, and both topical application and increased nutrient intake have been shown to be beneficial”. (Pullar et al, 2017, n.p.)
