The handle, Tropical fruit

The handle is a juicy, pulpy fruit that is very rich in magnesium and provitamins A and C. It also has high concentrations of carbohydrates which makes it have a high caloric value.

The proportions of handle nutrients can vary depending on the type and amount of the fruit, as well as other factors that may intervene in the modification of their nutrients.

It is important that you choose those that give off a good smell, feel flexible to the touch, but do not sink with pressure. Discard those that have black areas, many spots or are very wrinkled.

Another aspect to take into account is that the proportions of mango nutrients can vary depending on the type and amount of the fruit, as well as other factors that may intervene in the modification of their nutrients, and depending on the preparation of the handle, may vary also its properties and nutritional characteristics.

It is one of the most consumed fruits in the world. In addition, it contains more than 20 vitamins and minerals that benefit us in several aspects:

Age-related macular degeneration: The antioxidant Zeaxanthin found in mangoes filters harmful blue light rays and is believed to play a protective role in eye health. Several studies have shown that a higher intake of all fruits in general, 3 or more servings a day, decreases the risk of macular degeneration associated with age.

Asthma prevention: The risks for the development of asthma are lower in people who consume a large amount of certain nutrients. One of these nutrients is beta-carotene, which is found in mango, papaya, apricots, or broccoli.

Cancer: Diets rich in beta-carotene may also play a protective role against prostate cancer, according to a study conducted by the School of Public Health of Harvard University (USA) and it has been shown to have an inverse relationship with the development of colon cancer.

Bone health: A low consumption of vitamin K has been associated with an increased risk of bone fracture. Therefore, the adequate consumption of vitamin K, also present in mango, is important to improve the absorption of calcium essential for our bones.

Diabetes: Various studies have shown that people with type 1 diabetes who follow a high-fiber diet have lower glucose levels, and people with type 2 diabetes improve their blood sugar levels, lipids and insulin levels .

Digestion: Due to its fiber and water content, mango helps prevent constipation and promotes regularity.

Diseases of the heart: The fiber, potassium and the content of vitamins that the mangoes contain help to prevent cardiovascular diseases. Many studies have shown that an increase in potassium intake and a decrease in sodium are the perfect combination to reduce the risk of heart-related diseases.

Skin and hair: Mangoes are also great allies for hair, as they contain vitamin A, a nutrient necessary for the production of sebum that keeps hair hydrated. Vitamin A is also necessary for the growth of all body tissues, including skin and hair.
