5 Impressive Health Benefits of Mangoes

• Mangoes support eye health: Mangoes contain lutein and zeaxanthin, two antioxidants that protect your eyes from harmful UV rays, slow the progression of cataracts and macular degeneration and can even increase your visual range. If you want to further protect your eyes and provide them with much-needed rest and cleansing, try Dr. Sebi's Eyewash.
• Mangoes improve your sugar regulation: Even though mangoes are sweet and yummy, their fiber, antioxidants, and other active bio components help regulate your blood sugar levels, according to a recent study by Oklahoma University. 
• Mangoes improve skin and hair health: The nutrients in mangoes help with the maintenance of epithelial tissues, such as skin, nails, and sebaceous glands. They also help with the production of collagen, which provides skin elasticity and helps prevent wrinkles and sagging.
• Mangoes boost your immune system: The combination of nutrients in this delicious fruit increases the production and activity of white blood cells, which makes you less susceptible to infections. 
• Mangoes may protect against cancer: They are chock-full of minerals, antioxidants, and polyphenols, compounds that protect your DNA against damages that may lead to degenerative diseases such as diabetes and cancer. In a recent study, it was even found that they may suppress the growth of breast cancer cells.
