Mangoes: The King Of Fruits

Mangoes: The King Of Fruits
Mangoes
Did you know that one mango contains about three grams of dietary fibre – and fibre lowers cholesterol and promotes digestion.

Mangoes are also high in vitamin C, with one mango containing 96 percent of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C. Vitamin C is well known as an immune-system booster, offering protection from heart and eye disease. It also boosts skin health. The vitamin E and beta carotene in mangoes acts as powerful antioxidants that help the body fight the effects from free radicals. Mangoes are also rich in vitamin B6, iron, potassium and magnesium.
