Literally until recently, mango was in the eyes of the Russians something completely outlandish and unusual. The fruit tastes good, but it also cost a lot, so not everyone could afford it. However, the market is developing, and today mango can be found in almost any grocery store at a very reasonable price. On the Internet, this fruit is recommended to people who want to lose weight, because mango, whose calorie content is extremely low, is also quite satisfying.
They knew about the many beneficial properties of mangoes in India for a very long time - it is not for nothing that it has been cultivated for more than eight thousand years. By the way, this fruit has more than one and a half thousand varieties, however all mangoes whose properties are well studied are recommended not only as a pleasant dessert, but also as a medicine for people suffering from overweight, vascular diseases and metabolic disorders.
In any fruit, including mango, the calorie content is extremely low, but this fruit is very fast digestible. Mango contains a huge amount of necessary and useful substances, among them vitamin C, vitamin E, fiber and carotene. As you know, these substances have a positive effect on the whole organism, therefore, the active use of mangoes is also recommended as a preventive measure for many diseases - this is a violation of the immune system, impotence, nervous disorders and other ailments.
How many calories are in mangoes? An average of 60-62 kcal per 100 grams. This is 30 kcal less than a banana and 100 kcal less than 100 grams of boiled egg. For people who want to quickly lose weight, mango is perfect not only as the main ingredient in a temporary diet, but also as a constantly consumed product. Starting a new day with this fruit is very useful - it is absorbed on an empty stomach by 93-95 percent, while the same semolina is absorbed less than half, and the undigested part settles in the stomach, on the walls of blood vessels or leaves the body naturally. Any meat, even lean, is very poorly digested.
In mango, calorie content, in general, does not play a major role. What is more important is that this product is well accepted by the body, supplies our body with the necessary fluid (the so-called "colored water"), and also gives a feeling of satiety. To achieve the optimal effect when losing weight, after eating one or more mangoes for breakfast (you can eat as many as you like, it is impossible to get full from the fruits), it is advisable to eat nothing more for two hours after eating and not to drink at least an hour so that the water does not wash out the stomach juice. Thus, all useful substances will be properly assimilated, and the body will receive resources for cleansing the decay products of other, less healthy foods.
When choosing mangoes, attention should be paid to the peel of the fruit. It should be more or less monophonic and shine slightly in the light or in the sun. The softness of the fruit should be medium. It is better, of course, to buy a slightly stiffer fruit than a soft one, since a solid fruit can be allowed to lie down for two or three days so that it comes in optimal condition. If you get a soft fruit, you should not store it for more than 3 days (even in the refrigerator), it will almost certainly go bad. Remember that in mango calories are far from the most important, albeit very valuable quality. This fruit is valuable primarily for its effectiveness in solving problems with the heart, stomach, blood vessels, and generally with the immune system. And if you add suppers to breakfasts with mangoes, the effect will be noticeable much earlier. Before eating fruit, you need to eat nothing for three to four hours and do not drink an hour before eating, and then the mango will be absorbed most fully. No wonder this fruit is so loved in India, they already know a lot about healthy eating!
