Top 5 health benefits of Pakistani Chaunsa Mango
1. Packed with antioxidants that offer protection
Mangos are an excellent source of plant molecules known for their antioxidant and protective qualities, such as mangiferin and gallotannins. Their potential to combat the oxidative stress from daily life and exposure to pollutants has been investigated for both.
Many of these substances are found in or just beneath the epidermis, just like in other plant-based diets. Mango peels contain plant compounds that may help reduce obesity, according to a 2012 research that examined the peels.
2. Could facilitate digestion
A 2018 pilot study found that giving people with chronic constipation mangoes to consume for four weeks greatly reduced their symptoms. Other substances in the fruit may have caused this improvement, but it may also have been partly attributed to the fruit’s high fibre content. It’s interesting to note that plant compounds found in mango tree leaves also seem to offer some antidiarrheal activity.
An earlier experiment on animals showed that adding mango to the diet benefited the intestinal microbiota of obese mice on a high-fat diet. Research indicates that the fruit’s polyphenols—protective substances like gallo-tannins—may be to blame for this.
The phytochemicals found in mangos have also been researched for their gastroprotective qualities; they provide the digestive tract with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory qualities and may even aid in reducing inflammation in diseases like ulcerative colitis.
3. Could support keeping hair and skin healthy
Ratios of vitamins A and C are appropriate in mangos. Collagen, the protein that serves as a scaffold to maintain skin tight and lush, is formed in part by vitamin C. One of the most significant antioxidants, vitamin C, guards against environmental damage. A vitamin C shortage can slow the healing of wounds and accentuate wrinkles. Vitamin C is also necessary for the synthesis of collagen in our hair and for aiding in the absorption of iron, a crucial mineral for healthy hair development.
Vitamin A is necessary for the growth of all cells, including those in the skin and hair, and some research indicates that it may have anti-ageing properties as well. Vitamin A plays a crucial function in the synthesis of sebum, the greasy material that lubricates our skin and scalp.
4. Could promote cardiac wellness
A 2016 study on animals revealed that mangiferin provided heart-protective advantages, such as decreased inflammation. These same plant chemicals may help control cholesterol, according to additional animal research.
Although these studies on animals seem promising, there haven’t been many human trials, so additional investigation is required to determine whether these advantages apply to people as well.
5. Could improve eye health
Mangos’ orange flesh indicates that they are high in carotenoids, which promote eye health. Specifically, they supply two carotenoids—lutein and zeaxanthin—that are vital to the retina of the eye, shielding it from blue light emitted by digital devices and sunshine. Zeaxanthin and lutein are very helpful in combating the symptoms of age-related macular degeneration.
