mango

Mangos are a good all round fruit which are very high in vitamins A and C. Mangos also contain a good amount of beta carotene.

  • Mangos are high in vitamin A which helps to improve eyesight and to fight off viral infections.

  • Mangos are also a good source of potassium which helps in muscle and nerve function as well as aiding in the bodies' acid balance. Potassium also helps to lower the risk of high blood pressure.

  • Mangos also contain good levels of beta carotene which helps to protect the cells from free radical damage and provides a source of vitamin A. Beta carotene also plays a part in immune and reproductive system function.

  • One mango contains around 135 calories.
