Dried Mango Nutrients:
Food to Live is passionate about providing delicious foods your family will love, and we feel good about the nutrition in our Dried Mangos. Dried mangos are rich in dietary fiber, Vitamin A, Calcium, and Iron, and are devoid of both fat and cholesterol. Here's why this matters:
Dietary Fiber
If you've ever been clogged up, you may have heard your doctor recommend increasing your fiber intake. That's because dietary fiber stimulates your digestive system, helping your body break down food more efficiently. Pregnant women may especially benefit from increasing their fiber intake for this reason. Additionally, studies show that eating foods packed with fiber can also help people maintain a weight over time.
Vitamin A
If you've ever wondered why some people have naturally beautiful skin and others are beleaguered with blemishes and spots, the answer may well be associated with Vitamin A consumption. In addition to helping with healthy skin, Vitamin A is an antioxidant, which means that it reduces inflammation, which may be beneficial to people with inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. Vitamin A also helps with vision, which is one of the reasons you may have heard your grandparents tell you to eat vitamin-a rich foods like carrots to help your eyes.
Calcium
Most people know that calcium helps with bone strength. As you grow older, your bones may become more brittle, which makes calcium consumption increasingly important. Calcium also helps your teeth stay strong, and keeps important muscles—including your heart—at their optimal performance level.
Iron
Iron is a mineral typically found in meats, which makes plant-based forms of iron valuable, especially to those who limit their meat intake. Without iron, you run the risk of your body becoming anemic. Iron also helps your body carry oxygen to all of its muscles and organs, which makes it essential for your overall well-being.
Fat Free & Cholesterol Free
Obesity can lead to an increased risk of numerous lift-threatening conditions including heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. These same risks are enhanced with those with high levels of cholesterol in the blood stream, as cholesterol increases your risk of high blood pressure. Maintaining a low-fat diet reduces your chances of obesity, while a low-cholesterol diet lowers your risk of high blood pressure. Foods like Mangos, which still taste like a treat without adding fat or cholesterol to your diet, can help you maintain your low-fat, low-cholesterol lifestyle.
