Call it 'Aam', 'Mango', 'Manga', 'Amba', 'Keri', 'Mamidi' or by any childhood favourite name – we know mango is an all-time favourite fruit in India! It's not only about the toothsome quality of this fruit, but about the myriad benefits, it has to offer. From skin to hair, digestion to eye health - Mango health benefits are immense.
Our instincts surely tell us about the change in weather with a variety of mangoes available in the market. Not only in summers, but 100 percent natural mango pulp from AamRus can be used to make products such as pickles, jams, syrups, natural candies etc. and enjoyed throughout the year.
Mango Nutrition Facts:
A single mango has around 100 - 127 calories depending upon the sweetness. It also contains various vitamins and minerals such as – vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin K, calcium, potassium, sodium, zinc, phosphorus. These nutrients render mangoes their many health benefits.
Benefits of Eating Mango:
  • Improve Digestion: Mango contains certain digestive enzymes that break down proteins and aid digestion. The presence of fibre maintains the health of the gastrointestinal tract that invariably enhances digestion.
  • Aids in Weight Loss: Weight loss and mangoes? Yes, you read it right! It's not the pulp but the skin of the fruit that contains the phytochemicals which act as a natural fat buster. 
  • Improves Eye Health: The presence of vitamin A, beta-carotene and zeaxanthin (one of the two vital carotenoids of the human eye) in mangoes help improve eye health.
  • Enhances Skin Health: The presence of vitamin A in mangoes has been found to reduce oil production on the skin, reduce fine lines and aid in skin growth and repair. So, if you are bothered by those acne or wrinkles, including mangoes in your diet can be a wise option.
  • Builds Immunity: Rich in vitamin C and zinc, mangoes play a significant role in strengthening one's immunity and maintaining the overall health of the immune system.
  • Boosts Bone Health: The presence of a compound lupeol in mangoes exhibit beneficial activity against inflammation and arthritis.
  • Fights Heat Stroke: Be it raw or ripe mangoes, the juice of mango is a restorative tonic that fights heat stroke. Mangoes keep the body hydrated, that is why people prefer having them in hot summers. The potassium in mangoes also helps in maintaining sodium levels in the body, thus regulating the fluid level and preventing heatstroke.

Research into mango health benefits though is still relatively new, but with so many benefits of eating mango, it inevitably falls under the genre of being a 'SUPERFOOD'!
