- Potassium, a mineral that’s vital for heart and nerve function.
- Folate, a B vitamin. It helps support the production of DNA and other genetic material. It’s particularly important for women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
- Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that helps support the immune system.
- Vitamin A is a powerful antioxidant, which supports immune function, cell growth, night vision, and overall eye health. It also works to help maintain kidney, lung, and heart function.
Many health benefits are associated with eating pineapple – good digestion, immunity-boosting, and speedy recovery from surgery, just to name a few. Studies have shown that it suppresses the growth of multiple types of cancer including skin, breast, bile duct, gastric system, and colon.
Mango is good for a variety of ailments such as diabetes and cancer and can help maintain healthy bones and a youthful glow.
I enjoy it for both the taste and the health benefits. 🙂
