Mango is one of the most popular and nutrient-dense fruits in the world and is often called the "King of Fruits." Mangoes are an amazing source of vitamins A, C, E and B-complex, as well as health-promoting flavonoids such as beta-carotene and alpha-carotene.

Mangoes are also very useful in preventing strokes, heart diseases, arthritis, cognitive disorders, respiratory diseases and kidney diseases. It can help alkalize the entire body by helping to flush out toxic acids and restore the body's alkaline reserves. Mangoes are full of enzymes and are a prebiotic food, meaning they contain compounds that stimulate and feed the good bacteria in the gut, greatly aiding digestion and assimilation.
Mango contains a significant amount of pyridoxine (B-6), which is vital for the synthesis of serotonin and dopamine in the brain. Pyridoxine is also essential for maintaining hormonal balance and proper immune function, as well as helping the body break down sugars, fats and proteins. Mangoes are believed to help prevent insomnia and provide a better night's sleep. In some countries, mangoes are eaten just before bed as a natural sleep aid.
