Grab that mango, before the season ends

The king of fruits is often associated with sugar and calories. But polishing off an entire mango translates into getting a good dose of nutrients that help you remain fit and healthy. Can’t believe? Take a look at some of the most important benefits of eating a mango:

• With its high level of vitamin C, pectin and fibre, mangoes help lower cholesterol levels.
• The potassium present in a mango helps control blood pressure and heart rate.
• The fibre in the fruit helps burn calories and keeps the body fit.
• Being rich in vitamin A, mango is good for the eyes and eyesight.
