benefits of Mangos – Green Cupcake

This week I wanted to make a smoothie bowl with Mango. I love Mangos they are so healthy and delicious. They have some amazing benefits as well.

Mango also known as “ Mangifera indica” and in some parts of the world referred to as the “ King of Fruits”. It has great nutritional value with a number of health benefits such as improved immunity, digestive health and eyesight. Mango is low in calories yet high in nutrients, Especially vitamin C, which aids immunity, iron absorption and growth and repair. Mango is packed with polyphenols, a plant compound that function as antioxidants. Mango is a good source of folate, several B vitamins, vitamins A, C, K and E which all of which help boost immunity. Mangos have digestive enzymes, water, dietary fiber and other compounds that aid different aspects of digestive health. Mango contains vitamin C, which gives your skin its elasticity and prevents sagging and wrinkling. It also provides vitamin A, which promotes healthy hair. These are just a few reasons why Mangos are the King of Fruits. What is your favourite type of Mango??
