Mangoes have numerous health benefits which is why they are frequently used in some of innocent’s delicious juices. Did you know that mangoes…
1) Fight Cancer
Due to the antioxidants they contain, mangoes have been proven to keep your immune system in check and prevent against leukaemia, colon and prostate cancer. The large levels of vitamin C and vitamin A are a great boost for your immune system.
2) Improve vision
One cup of sliced mangoes can provide your body with 25% of its daily Vitamin A requirement, which prevents dry eyes and poor vision at night. After all, JOE doesn’t want any of you readers to end up like this.

3) Lower Cholesterol
High cholesterol is a problem that many men suffer from, but fear not, mangoes can help. Their high levels of fibre, pectin and Vitamin C can help lower serum cholesterol levels which is great for your heart.
4) Help clear your skin
Have you ever found yourself in a spot of bother? Well, you probably didn’t know that mangoes can help clear clogged pores and eliminate pimples. Something that this poor lad might need…
5) Help combat heat stroke
Remember these silly Irish people over-indulging in the sun?
Well, here’s some good news for people that may not take the sun too well; mango juice can help prevent against sun stroke. Apparently the reason why people often feel tired and dehydrated, when visiting equatorial climates, is because the sun’s rays burn up your body, particularly the muscles. The kidneys then become overloaded with toxins from this process, however, mangoes can help combat this effect. Take that sun!
