The mango season is here and I know that many of us must have started consuming a whole lot mangoes on daily, weekly and at very little extend monthly basis. But have we ever try to find out the nutritional or health benefits of mangoes? I know for some it's yes while some is NO.

Mango contains significant amounts of vitamin C and vitamin A, plus 25 different kinds of carotenoids that can keep your immune system healthy and strong.

3. Promotes Healthy Sex:

Mangos are a good of source 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 (from whole foods) does help.

Mango leaves help normalize insulin levels in the blood. The traditional home remedy involves boiling leaves in water, soaking through the night and then consuming the filtered decoction in the morning.
