Fresh mango salsa

Mango is not only extremely tasty, but also has amazing healing properties. It helps to alkalize the entire organism, helping to flush out toxic acids and restore alkaline reserves in the body. It's also full of enzymes and is a prebiotic food, meaning it contains compounds that stimulate and feed the good bacteria in the gut, greatly aiding digestion and absorption.

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. They are also a powerful anti-cancer food and are especially known to help prevent lung, breast, colon, prostate, blood and oral cancers. They are also extremely helpful in preventing strokes, heart disease, arthritis, cognitive impairment, respiratory disease, and kidney disease.

Mangoes contain a significant amount of pyridoxine (B-6), which is vital for the synthesis of serotonin and dopamine in the brain and is essential for maintaining hormonal balance and the proper function of the immune system. Mangoes also help prevent insomnia and provide better sleep. In some countries, mangoes are consumed just before bed as a natural sleep aid.

Enjoy this fresh mango salsa any time of the day. It's great on its own or served with guacamole, hummus, veggie sticks or a healthy cracker of your choice. You can also scoop in lettuce or cabbage leaves as a veggie taco.
