Top 7
Things that Happen to Your Body If You Eat Mangoes Every Day -Mangoes are one of those superfoods that provide well rounded nutrition,
prevent disease, and taste great. They can be eaten in all sorts of ways,
including cubed, dried, or blended into a smoothie. Mango is great for adding a
little tropical flair to your day, and it can also spice things up in the
bedroom. But that’s just the start. There are lots of great reasons to eat some
mango every day – let’s count them.
1. Reduced Risk of Cancer
Mangoes are a high antioxidant food, but not to the same
level as things like blueberries and acai berries. Still, researchers tested
the effect of mango on certain cancers and found that it
does an incredible job of suppressing cancer cells. The reason is probably the
polyphenols, which are natural substances in plants that are associated with
good health. Mango seems to particularly reduce the risk of colon, breast,
lung, leukemia, and prostate cancers, and does not damage healthy cells near to
the cancerous ones.
2. Protection from Heat Stroke
Mango has an incredible ability to cool the body and can be
a godsend if it feels like heat stroke is coming on. It helps because to avoid
heat stroke, you need to maintain the fluid level in your body. The potassium
content in mango balances out the sodium compound and works toward fluid-level regulation.
Mango is also known to
control homocystiene levels in the blood, which can be harmful to blood vessels
and may up your risk of heat stroke. Blend up some mango and a tablespoon of
honey with cold water and drink. You’ll feel better in no time flat.
3. Spicier Sex Life
Mangoes are a little bit exotic and very sweet, so they’re
kind of romantic in that way. But they also contain a bunch of vitamin E, which
not only supports skin health, it also regulates sex hormones and
increases sex drive.
For men, vitamin E may
also help to increase sperm count and enhance the sperm’s swimming ability. If
you’re trying to get pregnant or simply planning a romantic meal, don’t forget
the mango!
4.
Alkalized Bodily Environment
We know that cancer
cells prefer acidic environments, so anything you can do to tip the body’s pH
toward alkalinity can help lower your chances of developing the deadly disease.
Mango contains tartaric acid, malic acid, and traces of citric acid, all of
which help maintain alkalinity. It seems counterintuitive, but these acids all
become alkaline during the digestive process.
It is worthwhile to note, however, that
eating alkalizing foods only adjusts the pH of your urine, not your blood, and
so it may be most protective against bladder cancer specifically. Also, cancer
cells can grow in any environment, despite their preference. File this one
under “it couldn’t hurt”.
5. Healthier Digestion
Mango is full of prebiotic dietary fiber. Prebiotics are non-digestible foods that support the
growth of beneficial bacteria. The good bacteria help ward off disease;
prebiotics are, in essence, food for the probiotics in your system, not for you
directly. Eating a lot of mango can keep the environment in your gut healthy.
Mangoes also contain
vitamins and minerals that help to break down protein during digestion. The
fiber keeps you feeling full and satiated for longer, helping to stave off
unhealthy food cravings. The combination of craving control and efficient
digestion may ultimately help you lose weight more easily.
6. Better Insulin Regulation
You don’t need to stick to just the fruit of the mango tree
– the leaves are good for you, too. In fact, drinking a tea of
boiled mango leaves is thought to help regulate insulin levels. Simply boil 5-6
leaves in water for a few minutes, then let it steep overnight. In the morning,
remove the leaves and drink the tea.
The extract improves
insulin production and distribution of glucose, thereby stabilizing blood sugar
levels in diabetics. This makes it a great beverage to drink before eating.
7. Strengthened Immunity
Mango is a powerhouse of nutrition, including vitamin C,
vitamin A, and no less than 25 different carotenoid antioxidants. That’s a
combo that supports the health of your immune system. These
important vitamins work together to neutralize free radicals and prevent
cellular damage that can otherwise initiate various diseases.
Eating mango every day
makes you less likely to catch every little bug that’s going around, and to
beat anything you do catch a bit faster.
