Mangoes generally offer a
myriad of skin benefits for the skin, hair, body etc. Jumia Travel, the leading
online travel agency, shares 6 amazing benefits mangoes, the king of fruits.
Enhances
skin health
Mangoes are rich in
beta-carotene and Vitamin A. Beta-carotene is a photo-protective agent that
helps quench photochemical reactions in the epidermis, which protects the skin
from ultraviolet rays. The Vitamin A in mangoes has also been found to reduce
oil production in the skin which helps to combat acne and dark spots. Both the
beta-carotene and vitamin A help to resurrect dead skin and make radiant and
luminous. Eating mangoes as well as smearing some mango pulp on your face and
leaving on for about 30 minutes will do wonders for your skin.
Gives
a fairer skin tone
A mixture of mango pulp
and milk cream, when applied on the face for about 30 minutes, can make the
skin fairer and spotless. Mango peels can also be dried in the sun and ground
to powder, before being mixed with milk powder and a little water to form a
sort of home-made fairness mask to give a fairer skin tone and spotless
complexion.
Helps
with diabetes
The fruit is known to control
blood sugar levels and normalize insulin levels in the blood. For this reason,
diabetics can gain benefits from eating this fruit.
Improves
digestion
Mangoes are rich in fiber
which help to prevent constipation and keeps one full for long. These fibers
also helps to keep the colon clean and allows it work optimally thereby aiding
digestion. Mangoes also contain certain digestive enzymes that breakdown proteins
and aid digestions.
Great
for the hair
Mangoes are rich in
vitamin C and help promote collagen production for healthy hair. Also due to
the presence of vitamin A (which has scalp conditioning properties) and
beta-carotene in mangoes, the fruits help to nourish the hair and treat
dandruff. You can mix mango with yoghurt and egg yolk or banana and coconut oil
to make a kind of mango conditioner for your hair.
Great

Mangoes are extremely
useful for women during pregnancy because they are loaded with plenty iron and
folic acid which help to prevent anemia and keep the unborn baby healthy and
