Mangoes are good for your health

In terms of minerals, pottasium is most notable in mangoes but with smaller amounts of magnesium and iron. Regular intake of mangoes is recommended for people with poor blood circulation because the fruit (mangoes) improves the circulatory system.

Mangoes increase urine production because they are rich in potassium and low in sodium, thus controlling high blood pressure.

Diabetic patients can also benefit from mangoes because of the fruit’s positive effect on the arteries, thus controlling cholesterol.

Medical experts and scientists say that mangoes are also high in fibre content which helps in breakdown of foods hence minimizing constipation.
