Raw mangoes are a powerhouse of nutrients, offering a variety of health benefits. Rich in antioxidants, such as lutein and zeaxanthin, polyphenols, vitamins, minerals, and fiber, raw mangoes can help improve vision and eye health, reduce inflammation and the risk of cancer, promote collagen synthesis and improve skin health. Eating raw mangoes in moderate amounts is beneficial for most adults, but eating too many can cause indigestion, abdominal pain, dysentery, and throat irritation. Just one cup (165 grams) of fresh mango provides nearly 67% of the daily value of vitamin C.
This water-soluble vitamin helps the immune system, helps the body absorb iron, and promotes cell growth and repair. A cup of raw mango also provides 1.35 grams of protein, 0.63 grams of fat, 2.64 grams of fiber, 24.7 grams of carbohydrates, 22.5 grams of sugar and 99 calories. Raw mangoes can help increase the elasticity of blood vessels and help the process of hematopoiesis (formation of new blood cells). Ayurveda highly recommends raw mango for treating digestive problems, promoting healthy vision and losing weight.
In addition, raw mangoes can help improve hair growth and produce sebum to moisturize the scalp and keep hair healthy. They can also help eliminate bad breath, treat bleeding gums and reduce the risk of tooth decay. The benefits of vitamin C, A and the essential nutrients in raw mango activate the immune system, improve vision, keep skin and hair healthy and reduce the risk of prostate cancer. While there are studies that show the benefits of raw mangoes under various conditions, these are insufficient and more studies are needed to establish the true extent of the benefits of raw mangoes for human health. Raw mangoes with minimal amounts of calories and sugar help activate metabolism, keep you full and burn those extra fats. Khatta Meetha's raw mango juice serves as a delicious treat and protects the body from intense heat and dehydration.
Several tests have shown that eating raw mango helps regulate blood disorders such as anemia, blood clots, and hemophilia. Therefore, it is important to consult your Ayurvedic doctor about the possible interaction of raw mangoes with other medications before consuming them in large amounts. They will know your health status and other medications you are taking.
