Mango: The tropical fruit is so healthy

It is well known that a mango is very healthy. But what exactly is in the exotic fruit and what actually makes you so healthy? You will find the answer in this article.

Mangoes are healthy - but why?

Everyone knows that fruits - including mangoes - are healthy. But only very few people know what exactly is in the tropical fruit.

• The mango has a particularly large number of nutritious ingredients such as vitamin C, fiber, polyphenols and the provitamin A of the carotenoids. Vitamin C in particular is known as a miracle weapon against colds.
• The mango can help with indigestion. It is a remedy for diarrhea but also constipation. Depending on the intake, it can regulate both.
• For example, half a mango with a glass of water helps miracles to defecate too tightly. Consumption without water, however, can have a positive effect on liquid stool.
• Mango also helps against skin aging. The multiple ingredients help the skin look fresher and younger. It is not for nothing that the active ingredients are added to various skin creams.

The mango is not only healthy, but also versatile

You can use the mango in a variety of ways - whether for beauty in cosmetics, as a drink, for baking and cooking, there are almost innumerable possibilities.

• Mango as a smoothie : Puree a whole mango and add some orange juice. You get a very tasty and healthy smoothie that will get you off to a good start and even fill you up for a long time.
• Mangoes in the cake : Mangoes can be used very well as a baking ingredient. They are suitable in all types of fruit cakes. The exotic fruits go especially well with pineapples and apples.
• Mangoes as a snack and finger food : You can dry mangoes in the oven, similar to banana slices, and take them anywhere as finger food.
