Top Health Benefits of raw or unripe mangoes
Though raw mangoes have many health benefits but must be avoided by people who have heavy menstrual bleeding, nasal bleeding or other bleeding disorders. This is due to Pittakarak property ( vitiates blood and increases body heat) what Ayurveda says.
1) Raw mangoes protect from intense heat and dehydration, by stopping excessive loss of sodium chloride and iron from the body. Also protect from the negative effects of very high temperature. But as said, these must be avoided by people who already have heavy bleeding from external body openings.
2) Raw mangoes boost the metabolism therefore help you to burn more calories. As these mangoes are not ripe and much sweet, can be taken by diabetes people too.
3) These are good for liver detoxification too. Raw mangoes clean the liver and promote the secretion of bile acid.
4) A very good source of vitamin C. Yes along with C, these are packed with vitamin A, Calcium and Magnesium which are required by body for its nourishment.
5) These are great source of boosting heart health as well. These are high in niacin which is responsible for the regulation of good cholesterol levels. Niacin also improves blood circulation and makes it toxins free. Also makes sure that your heart beats normally and stay healthy.
6) Raw mangoes aid Skin and Hair health because of rich vitamin A content. Again vitamin C enables collagen synthesis that’s responsible for healthy ageing.
