Mango is a ripe fruit that provides better nutritional levels of vitamins A and C, the two antioxidant vitamins that are essential for most body functions as we age, including the skin, immune system and eyes.

The vitamin A in mango is beneficial for the eye and body cells, while the vitamin C helps build collagen and therefore skin firmness. Most of the nutritional benefits of mangoes are used as a revamp for aging people who want to enjoy nutritious fruits that are not overly rich in fats and sugars, but have equal proportions of fibre, vitamins, minerals and natural sugars.

It is also a good source of folic acid and several B vitamins, which play a role in energy metabolism and heart health. In addition to being eaten as a main course, mango is delicious eaten raw as a snack, added to juices and smoothies, and even added to salads as a filler and extra source of vitamins.
