Mango benefits
Mango
rab you some of this tropical fruit if you are trying to get your health together. This is in my top five favorite fruits I can literally eat these all day. There are over 500 different types of mangoes they are called The king of all fruit. This fruit has been consumed for thousands of years. The mango fruit, seeds, leaves, roots and bark can be used for nutritional benefits and medicinal issues. It has been Vitamin C than a orange.
Vitamin C only stays in the body for 24 hours. Smoking anything, alcohol, sugar, medicine, processed foods/drink etc deplete it even faster so you have to consume twice the amount of vitamin c.
The most popular types are Ataulfo (yellow) and Tommy Atkins (reddish orange). Mango season is typically from May through october. But depending on the store especially international food market you can get them year round. They are great to eat plain and heavenly divine if you put them in a smoothie.
Mangiferin is a polyphenol that gives mango a lot of benefits. You may have heard we are what we consume. But we are what's inside of what we are consuming. Sadly too often what we consume throughout the day typically is high in calories and low in nutrients.
It is also contains in antioxidants which help reduce free radicals. Free radicals are a natural part of cell metabolism. But too many of them causes of oxidative stress which is damaging. Anytime there is free radicals there is some form of inflammation. Think of free radicals as fire🔥 antioxidants as water 💦.
If you are having eye issues make sure you get mango in. They contain lutein and zeaxanthin carotenoids that are that are found in the retina. Which helps convert sunlight into signals so the brain can interpret what we are viewing. These are the only carotenoids that are concentrate in the body. These carotenoids absorb excess light. Since the majority of people have phones we need to constantly be consuming these to help reduce the effects of the blue light that we get from technology. Also if you have night blind it's 9 times out of 10 you are deficient in vitamin a. Mangoes don't contain vitamin a but they do have beta-carotene which is the precursor of vitamin a.
Assists with digestion, constipation, bloating, gas, acid reflux, reduces candida overgrowth, fiber aka prebiotics etc. A prebiotic is fiber which one exist in fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices, nuts, seeds etc. Fiber is not found in any form of meat I’m talking about seafood, fried kangaroo pouch, chicken, boiled platypus beak/ tail, beef, snake scales, pork, BBQ turtle back, bison, smoked patrick starfish legs, turkey, stir goose neck, elf, deer etc.
You whole digestive tract from your mouth to your anus has microbiota. Which has bacteria, fungi, viruses etc which have good and bad functions. Whenever the bad functions happen problems will happen. You may have heard of someone having H pyloi or candida. The majority of people have H pyloi and everyone has candida. It's the overgrowth of these bacteria that are the problem.
Prebiotics is what the bacteria mainly feeds on, probiotics are the bacteria and postbiotics are the byproducts of probiotics. Examples of postbiotics byproducts are bacterial lysates (bacteria compounds) , cell wall fragments, cell-free supernatants (bacteria and yeast compounds), exopolysaccharides, lipopolysaccharides, serotonin (90% of the production), short-chain fatty acids ,Vitamin B1 thiamine, Vitamin B5 panthotenic acid, Vitamin B7 biotin, Vitamin B9 folate, Vitamin K etc.
Interesting enough they have build a $50,000,000,000 plus industry mainly based off of people being uneducated or miseducated on their health. This is why education has to become a mandatory it shouldn't be seen as optional.
Fiber is a carbohydrate that has 4 calories. Over 90% of people do not get into fiber in daily. There are 3 forms of fiber soluble, insoluble and resistance starch but we will focus on the first two. Soluble fiber dissolves in water and insoluble doesn’t. Soluble fiber creates a gel when it dissolves also is good for cholesterol and sugar. Insoluble fiber attracts water into your feces that makes it softer and more simple to defecate without stain. Besides not getting enough fiber not getting enough water leads to constipation. Insoluble fiber also helps increase insulin sensitivity.
Plants usually contain a mixture of both types. It’s mixed views on if you should count fiber for or against your total calorie intake. Since soluble fiber feeds the bacteria some say it should be counted towards are total calories. Some say even with that it shouldn’t count towards are total calories but substracted. To keep it safe instead of multiplying 4 calories per gram with fiber multiple by 1.5 or 2.
Vitamin C helps with the production and elasticity of collagen. It may seem unbelievable but fruit is actually a great way to lose weight. You don't have to believe me you can increase your fruit intake by two to three times the amount and see what happens. Contrary to popular belief fruit is actually good or diabetes. And and more people consume more fruit we will see lower amounts of diabetes. Which affects 40 million people 95% of them having type 2. The vast majority of those are lifestyle related. They are said to be over 100 million people not diagnosed will diabetes. This tropical fruit is good for the immune system. Helps regulate triglycerides, cholesterol and blood pressure.
In a general sense people victimized fruit and sugar would be in the same as the kind that's in process items. When you break down and look through a couple of studies you will see that fruit even with the sugar is more beneficial than processed items. And all honesty we should all be educated on nutrition, anatomy, physiology etc because it all has to do with our body. This is the one place that we will live at forever so we might as well get a chance to know it.
