1.High in Vitamin C
Move over oranges: One cup of mango has 70% of your recommended daily allowance. In addition to boosting your immune system, vitamin C helps activate collagen. That’s a building block for your skin, bones, hair, and muscles. It also helps you absorb the iron your body uses to make protein for red blood cells.
2.Don’t Shun the Sugar
One cup of mango has 22 grams of naturally occurring sugar. But because they’re high in fiber, the sugar enters your bloodstream slowly and doesn’t cause a big spike. If you’re trying to watch how much sugar you eat, pair mango with fat or protein, like avocado or fish. That helps slow down absorption even more.
