The season for mango is once more approaching. Despite the fact of knowing them to be the most flies breeder, they also have a lot of health benefits.

Revered not only for their exotic sweetness and juicy quality, mangoes are known for their many health blessings.

They contain an enzyme similar to papain in papayas, a soothing digestive aid. These proteolytic enzymes that breakdown proteins are effective meat tenderisers regularly used in tropical countries where mangoes are grown.

The enzyme list continues with mangneferin, katechol oxidise and lactose that not only protect the mango from insects, but help humans by stimulating metabolism and purifying the intestinal tract.

Studies have shown that foods containing phenolic compounds have powerful antioxidant, anticancer and anti cardiovascular abilities. Mangoes possess the phenols quercetin, Isoquercitfin astragalin, fisetin, gallic acid, and methyl gallat.

In some countries, mangoes are used as blood builders. Because of their high iron content, they are suggested for treatment of anaemia and are beneficial to women during pregnancy and menstruation.

people who suffer from muscle cramps, stress, and heart problems can benefit from the high potassium and magnesium content that also help with acidosis.

One laboratory test turned up rather startling results that raised mangoes to the “highest perch”. Mango juice was poured into a test tube that contained viruses, shortly, the viruses were destroyed.
