5.\u00a0 Alkalizes the Whole Body:<\/strong>
\nThe tartaric acid, malic acid, and a trace of citric acid found in the fruit help to maintain the alkali reserve<\/a> of the body.<\/p>\n

6. Helps in Diabetes<\/a><\/span>: <\/strong>
\nMango leaves help normalize insulin levels in the blood.\u00a0 The traditional home remedy involves boiling leaves in water, soaking through the night and then consuming the filtered decoction in the morning. Mango fruit also have a relatively low glycemic index (41-60) so moderate quantities will not spike your sugar levels<\/a>.<\/p>\n

7. Improved Sex: <\/strong>
\nMangos are a great source of vitamin E. Even though the popular connection between sex drive and vitamin E was originally created by a mistaken generalization on rat studies, further research has shown balanced proper amounts (as from whole food) does help in this area.<\/p>\n

8. Improves Digestion: <\/strong>
\nPapayas are not the only fruit that contain enzymes for breaking down protein. There are several fruits, including mangoes, which have this healthful quality. The fiber in mangos also helps digestion and elimination.<\/p>\n

9. Remedy for Heat Stroke<\/strong>
\nJuicing the fruit from green mango and mixing with water and a sweetener helps to cool down the body and prevent harm to the body. From an ayurvedic viewpoint, the reason people often get diuretic and exhausted when visiting equatorial climates is because the strong \u201csun energy\u201d is burning up your body, particularly the muscles.\u00a0 The kidneys then become overloaded with the toxins from this process.<\/p>\n

10. Boosts Immune system <\/strong>
\nThe generous amounts of vitamin C<\/a> and vitamin A in mangos, plus 25 different kinds of carotenoids keep your immune system healthy and strong.<\/p>\n
