25 Common Fruits and Their Health Benefits

5 to 9 Servings a Day

Various health organizations, integrative medicine doctors, nutritionists and holistic wellness practitioners recommend that we eat 5 to 9 services of fruits and vegetables daily.  For simplicity sake, 1/2 cup is generally considered a serving, but this depends on the type of fruit or vegetable eaten.

Of these 5 to 9 daily servings, many health professionals generally recommend that we consume 2 servings of fruit and the remaining servings should be vegetables.  This recommendation will vary from individual to individual depending on the person's health status (including the presence of any disease or condition such as diabetes or Candida overgrowth) and the type of fruit eaten, as fruits vary in their fructose content.

Mango is one of those foods that frequently pops up on many recommended food lists.

This infographic entitled The Most Fabulous Mango is all about this fruit: health benefits, nutrition facts, popular varieties, stages of ripeness and how to cut.

Mangoes are not only delicious and versitle in the ways they can be eaten, they are very nutritious.

Because mangoes are rich in important antioxidants, enzymes, vitamins, minerals and other micronutrients like Vitamins A and C, Potassium, Calcium, Folate, Vitamin B6 and Copper, their consumption has been linked to numerous health benefits including:

❤ Cognitive and neurological development and function

❤ Healthy cardiovascular function

❤ Improved immune function

❤ Maintenance of bone health

❤ Normal blood sugar levels maintenance

❤ Formation of red blood and protection of DNA

❤ Vision health and protection of eyesight

❤ Collagen formation and healthy skin support

❤ Increased absorption of iron

❤ Weight loss and healthy weight maintenance.

Mango is a good source of both soluble and insoluble dietary fiber. Research indicates that soluble fiber is an important component in weight loss because it entraps food, sugar, cholesterol and fats in the stomach, slows their absorption by the body and carries them out through the digestive tract.  Fiber also has a satiating effect - leading to consumption of less calories.
