Health Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Prevents Cancer:\u00a0<\/strong>
    \nResearch has shown\u00a0antioxidant compounds in mango fruit have been found to protect against colon, breast, leukaemia and prostate cancers. These compounds include quercetin, isoquercetin, astragalin, fisetin, gallic acid and methyl gallat, as well as the abundant enzymes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Lowers Cholesterol:\u00a0<\/strong>
      \nThe high levels of fibre, pectin and vitamin C help to\u00a0lower serum cholesterol level, specifically Low-Density Lipoprotein (the bad stuff).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Clears the Skin:\u00a0<\/strong>
        \nCan be used both internally and externally\u00a0for the skin. Mangoes help clear clogged pores and eliminate pimples.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Improves Eye Health:\u00a0<\/strong>
          \nOne cup of sliced mangoes supplies 25 percent of the needed daily value of\u00a0vitamin A, which promotes good eyesight and prevents night blindness and dry eyes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Alkalizes the Whole Body:<\/strong>
            \nThe tartaric acid, malic acid, and a trace of citric acid found in the fruit help to maintain the\u00a0alkali reserve\u00a0of the body.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Improves Digestion:\u00a0<\/strong>
              \nPapayas are not the only fruit that contain enzymes for breaking down protein. There are several fruits, including mangoes, which have this healthful quality. The fibre in mangoes also helps digestion and elimination.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Helps Fight\u00a0Heat Stroke:<\/strong>
                \nJuicing the fruit from green mango and mixing with water and a sweetener helps to cool down the body and prevent harm from overheating.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                 <\/p>\n

                From an\u00a0ayurvedic viewpoint, the reason people often get diuretic and exhausted when visiting equatorial climates is because the strong \u201csun energy\u201d is burning up your body, particularly the muscles. The kidneys then become overloaded with the toxins from this process.<\/p>\n

                \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. Boosts the Immune System:<\/strong>
                  \nThe generous amounts of\u00a0vitamin C\u00a0and vitamin A in mangoes, plus 25 different kinds of carotenoids keep your immune system healthy and strong.
