MANGOS Health Benefits of Mangos Mangos really can make you feel better! Beyond being delicious and rich in vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants, mangos contain an enzyme with stomach soothing properties similar to papain found in papayas. These comforting enzymes act as a digestive aid and can be held partially responsible for that feeling of contentment. Mango, both in its green and ripe form is a very good tenderizing agent due to these same enzymes, therefore ideal to include in any marinade In India they use a sour mango powder containing ground up green mangos called Amchur, both as a seasoning and tenderizing aid. We all know the importance of fiber in our diets. Mangos are high in fiber, but low in calories (approx. 110 per average sized mango) Research has shown that dietary fiber has a protective effect against degenerative diseases, especially with regards to the heart; may help prevent certain types of cancer, as well as lowering blood cholesterol levels. An average sized mango can contain up to 40% of your daily fiber requirement. For those of you who are physically active, whether working out or constantly on the go, mangos are also a great way to replenish that lost potassium and are rich in anti-oxidants, potassium and fiber. Mangos are an excellent source of Vitamins A and C, as well as a good source of Potassium and contain beta-carotene.
