Juice from this fruit strengthens heart and helps prevent inflammation

Benefits of mango juice

Dietitian Christopher Mohr explained that the benefits of mango juice depend on how it is prepared and its sugar content. It is important to look for products that consist of 100% fruit juice.

During your next grocery store visit, take some time to read the nutritional label on the back of the product.

Mango juice is rich in vitamins A and C, which strengthen the immune system, potassium, and magnesium, but its most powerful nutrient is antioxidants.

"Mango juice contains antioxidants like mangiferin, which may help prevent cellular damage," noted the expert.

It can also be effective for hydration, though it should not replace water. Additionally, mango can aid digestion through natural enzymes found in mango juice.

According to dietitian Michelle Routhenstein, mango juice is rich in antioxidants that can improve immune functions.

Antioxidants, such as beta-carotene, can contribute to overall health, including heart health, by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.

In 100 grams of mango juice, you’ll find:

Mango is also a good source of the minerals copper and folic acid, which support healthy growth and development.

Store-bought juice vs. homemade juice

Store-bought mango juice is often tastier than juice made at home.

Homemade mango juice can be healthier if you avoid adding extra sugars. Its naturally high sugar content might require you to make some adjustments to the drink or limit consumption.

Try diluting it or opt for whole mangoes, which contain fiber that helps control blood sugar levels.

Mango juice can be added to various beverages, desserts, sauces, creams, and smoothies. It can also be used in alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails. You can make mango jelly, cakes, or desserts with a mango filling.
