Rich in fiber, mangoes promote digestion and weight control. The antioxidants beta-carotene and flavonoids in mangoes help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals and reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer.
Mangoes are also a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin K, which support heart health, bone health, and overall health. High levels of vitamin C help boost immunity, and vitamin A and beta-carotene are good for eyesight, preventing macular degeneration and cataracts.

However, unlike other fruits, mangoes contain phytic acid, which often hinders the absorption of natural nutrients such as zinc, iron, and antioxidants in the body.
Therefore, for good health, experts recommend soaking mangoes in water before eating, according to the Indian Express.
Dr Sushma PS, a nutritionist at Jindal Naturecure Institute (India), said that soaking mangoes in water for about 1 hour can significantly reduce the concentration of phytic acid.
Soaking mangoes before eating is important because phytic acid interferes with the body's ability to absorb essential minerals like iron, zinc and calcium, potentially leading to deficiencies. Soaking mangoes in cold water for 1-2 hours will help remove phytic acid, promoting better nutrient absorption, explains Dr. Sushma.
Even if you don't have time, just soaking mangoes in water for 25-30 minutes is effective, advises Dr. Sushma.
This not only helps in increasing the absorption of nutrients but also helps in preventing many health problems like acne, skin problems, headaches, constipation and intestinal problems when eating mangoes.
