Boosting immunity
An ideal option to boost immunity, as it contains many important nutrients, such as copper, folate, and vitamins "B" and "E".

Heart health
As revealed by a study conducted by the University of Vienna of Medicine, mango contains elements beneficial for overall health, such as magnesium and potassium, making it a good choice to maintain healthy blood flow, in addition to supporting blood vessels to relax, which helps lower blood pressure levels.
Moreover, a study conducted by the Indian Cardiovascular Research Laboratory found that the compound "mangiferin" present in mango may protect heart cells from inflammation and oxidative stress, and works to reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
Improving digestive health
Due to containing many digestive enzymes called "amylase," it helps break down large food molecules so that your body can absorb them easily.
Furthermore, mango contains a high percentage of water and fiber, which contribute to solving digestive problems such as constipation and diarrhea.
Reducing the risk of some types of cancer
A study issued by the Regina Elena National Cancer Institute in Italy indicated that mango contains a compound called "polyphenol," which helps prevent a harmful process called oxidative stress, which is linked to many types of cancer, including blood, colon, lung, prostate, and breast cancer.
