Fruits that are high in vitamin C and antioxidants such as mangoes boost the body’s defenses against infection and can help prevent chronic diseases like cancer.

Mangoes contain an anticancer compound called mangiferin. Studies have found that mangiferin helps reduce inflammation and benefits the immune system. Mango extracts also help to inhibit the spread of cancer cells and even reduce the size of cancerous tumors.

There is even evidence to suggest that consuming mango fruit and mango peel has a protective effect against cancer. Scientists have found that eating the whole, unpeeled mango fruit could be very beneficial to health and could help to prevent the spread of certain cancerous cells.

For decades, mangoes have been used to soothe the stomach. Similar to papayas, they contain certain enzymes with stomach comforting properties. Mango is rich in fiber, so if you have at least one mango every day, you may alleviate constipation, piles, and symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Mangoes are very low in saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium. They are an excellent source of dietary fiber and vitamin B6, as well as a good source of vitamin A and vitamin C.

Mangoes have high amounts of pectin, a soluble dietary fiber that efficiently contributes to cholesterol lowering. Pectin can also help prevent the development of prostate cancer. The European Prospective Investigation of Cancer also has come up with a strong association between eating a mango and lowering the risk of cancer of the gastrointestinal tract. Further, comprehensive research suggests that the polyphenols in mango have a chemotherapeutic potential against breast cancer.
