Other than this there are other main varieties such as kent, Keitt, Osteen , Haden, Valencia pride, etc. Among the all mango varieties \u2018Alphonso\u2019 mango variety is considered as the king of mango varieties due to its flavor, sweetness, and nutrient richness. The top mango producing countries are India, China, Thailand, and Mexico. So, with these details, in this article, we mainly focus on the health benefits of mango.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
02. Nutrition Profile of Mango<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
One cup or 165g of mango can provide approximately Sufficient amounts of dietary requirements of sugar, dietary fiber, vitamin C, magnesium and potassium. And also it is a good source of carotenoids (Vitamin A) and polyphenols including flavonoids like quercetin and phenolic acids like mangiferin and gallic acid. These compounds have anti-inflammatory effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cardiovascular disease is a leading global health issue in the world. In Us, one person is dying every second from this disease and around 647,000 are dying each year due to this disease. It’s 1 of every 4 deaths. [1<\/a>]\n\n\n\n This way you can understand how much people are falling in this disease and must know the reasons for this disease. This is a condition of blocking blood vessels in the heart and this may cause chest pain, heart attacks, or Stroke. [2<\/a>]\n\n\n\n There are many types of heart diseases,<\/p>\n\n\n\n When considering Mango, It has a great ability in preventing heart diseases. In addition to the above nutrient status, mango contains no fat or cholesterol as It is scientifically proven that mean intake of total fats, saturated fatty acids (SFA) monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), cholesterol and total carbohydrates comparatively reduced with mango consumption which helps in preventing heart diseases. [3<\/a>]\n\n\n\n Phenolic compounds and ascorbic acid have antioxidant properties and they perform free radical scavenging activities which are important in preventing cancer induction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to that Sugars, magnesium, potassium, vitamin E, Vitamin C, and dietary fibers are increased with consumption of mangoes while intake of sodium will be reduced. Increased intake of dietary fiber will regulate serum cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels. Reduced sodium levels in the body prevent the risk of cardiovascular diseases thus mango can be considered as a sodium low fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Different parts of mango plants contain important bioactive compounds that are beneficial for human health. Stem bark yields Mangostin, 29-hydroxy mangiferonic acid and mangiferin, flower yield alkyl gallates. The root of mango contains the chromones while the leaf and flower yield an essential oil containing humulene, ocimene, elements, and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fruit pulp contains vitamins A and C, \u03b2-carotene and xanthophylls. These bioactive compounds are used to treat several diseases such as diarrhea, dysentery, anemia, asthma, bronchitis, cough, hypertension and insomnia.<\/strong> All these parts are used to treat tumors, snakebites, datura poisoning etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, several kinds of research conducted on mango reveal that It has anti-diabetic effects, an aqueous extract of the leaves possess hypoglycaemic activity. The mode of action is the intestinal reduction in the absorption of glucose. The results of this research also suggest that mango flour can possibly help in the treatment of diabetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Studies on mangiferin shown to have effects against Herpes simplex virus and to inhibit replication within cells and to antagonize the cytopathic effects of HIV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When considering antiallergic activities of stem bark components like Vimang and mangiferin, the study results have proven that natural extract could be successfully used in the treatment of allergic disorders. Mangiferin was the major contribution in the antiallergic effect. In addition to the above effects, mangiferin is responsible for anti-parasitic effects. However it is obvious that most of the functional properties of mango are bounded with mangiferin, hence it can be considered one of the most important functional components in mango.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This way mango helps to keep our life healthy.
