HEALTH BENEFITS OF MANGO.

Good morning dear friends!!

Mango is one of the most commonly available fruits which contains plenty of nutrients in the form of many minerals and vitamins. Also termed as "Vitamins powerhouse" The golden coloured fruit contains mostly all the Vitamins, like Vitamin B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, folate, A, C, E. With all these vitamins, mangoes play a fantastic role in helping your body to do dishoo dishoom with all the diseases from head to toe.

Let me explain.. Vitamin A as we all know, helps in reducing the chance of eye disorders, moisturise the hair and skin thus maintaining the integrity of skin and also helps in the rejuvenation of skin thus prevents in ageing of the skin. The Vitamin A and betacarotene in mangoes helps in reducing the dark blemishes, and acne. But patients taking warfarin therapy should be cautious as the Vitamin A interfere with warfarin therapy.

Vitamin C as usual helps in maintaining the  immunity. Vitamin E is great for maintaining the fertility and virility in men. Mangoes also acts as a detanning agent thus helps in increasing or I would say maintaining your original complexion:-)

The folate and Iron in mangoes makes them perfect for pregnant women as well as patients suffering from anaemia. Never knew this!!

The other B-complex vitamins helps in the mechanism of many enzymatic and metabolic reactions and also helps in strengthening your nervous system, especially the vitamin B6 do wonders to your nervous system. 

And here comes the super antioxidants which are gaining too much hype nowadays and all the foods containing these antioxidants are termed as superfoods, and Our National fruit mango is no back and infact it is heading the race I can say with plenty of antioxidants like Quercetin, Isoquercetin, Astragalin, Fisetin, Gallic acid, Methyl gala, Zeaxanthin etc.. All these antioxidants help in preventing the silent killer 'Cancer' and offers protection against certain cancers of Colon, Breast, Leukemia, Prostate etc. 

How could I ever miss mentioning about the fiber in mangoes which is another main reason for making mangoes in the top list of one of the healthiest foods. The good amount of fiber helps in reducing the amount of cholesterol and and also keeps a check on your sugar levels and even cleanses your digestive system. The bioactive ingredients like esters, terpenes, and aldehydes helps in increasing your appetite and at the same time improves the function of your digestive system, by helping in the breakdown of protein diet whatever you take, whether it be meat or any pulses, in case if you guys find any difficulty in digestion of heavy diets.

Kids are as usually fond of mangoes and it is even good for them as mangoes has a good amount of a fabulous protein called Glutamic acid which helps in improving your kids memory and concentration ability.

Chinese since ancient times have been using mangoes as herbal medicine in treating bleeding of gums, cough, constipation, nausea, anaemia, Fever, motion sickness, and even digestive problems.

Mangoes do contain many minerals like Iron, Potassium, Selenium, Calcium, Phosphorus etc.


Mango peel is rich in phytonutrients but few persons may be allergic to the peel, and also to the raw, unripe mangoes which causes burning sensation of tongue, mouth as such..

Mangoes are even low in saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium. Though the glycemic index of mangoes is in the medium range and is considered safe for diabetics to eat a medium sized mango, better keep a check at the same time not to get carried and cheated by the sweet taste and low glycemic index as the mangoes have fructose and may be the reason for increased weight in case you eat more than 1 at a time. Kids and non-obese, non-diabetics however can enjoy as mangoes provide good amount of energy.

Worried with the commercial aspects of the fast ripening of all fruits, as the manufacturers are using certain chemicals like calcium carbide for artificial ripening and this calcium carbide may cause serious health problems in case if you guys feel lazy to wash the fruits properly and thoroughly.. Better soak the mangoes overnight in water.. My maid does the same thing, she actually soaks the mangoes in water whole day, and I was wondering why she does so.. sometimes the lessons that are learnt throughout the life works best than the lessons taught in your class rooms..What say guys:-) So do respect any ideas that comes from your elders, they advice you with all their experiences they have faced..

 After knowing so many healthy benefits of mangoes I feel all that glitters with a gold colour are truly precious ;-) :-)

GOOD DAY.

BUFFALO MILK OR COW'S MILK??

Hi friends,

Good morning:-)

As the title mentions have any of you ever thought which is better, Buffalo milk or Cow's milk?? I guess most of you might have got the doubt, especially the Asians as the western people have more of Cow's milk.Right..

So, what's the difference?? Is there any difference that we really should be aware, Yes, of course!! There are few points which might help you guys whenever there is an option in choosing Buffalo milk or Cow's milk.

Starting from the appearance these 2 types of milk forms present in two different colours to the limelight;-) Guess how?? The Cow's milk is  densely pale yellow in colour a kind of rich liquid with dense nutrients:-) and the buffalo milk is a kind of what we all use milk to describe anything that is purely white in colour..Just wondering how many variations are there in white colour,  milky white, marble white, pearly white and many more to add..Wow..that's awesome creation of God and if a single colour has so many variations how can any humans be similar, be it in behaviour, looks or whatever, so just appreciate yourself for what you are friends, as each one of us are UNIQUE though similar;-)

Now let me ask a question over here based on my previous paragraph.. As I mentioned that the Cow's milk is dense and pale yellow in colour.. which form of milk do you think has more content of fat? Buffalo milk is known to have more amount of fat and also more amount of protein when compared to Cow's milk. Surprised!! Not really..Right.. If any of you ever happen to remember your elders saying that they used to feed you Cow's milk when you were a cute little chubby baby..and the reason your parents gave Cow's milk in your childhood days was that, the Cow's milk had lesser amount of fat and protein which makes it easier for the kids to digest. 

A good amount of water also is hidden in natural Cow's milk, another best part. Along with kids Cow's milk is preferable for older people and I feel it is better for all people at all ages to have Cow's milk if possible.

Before we go into a conclusion, Buffalo milk also has its priorities like, it has more amount of calcium and phosphorus which are converted into colloidal form and that's the reason of its whiter colour..Oh!

Not only that, due to its whiter colour the artificially prepared whiteners use mostly buffalo milk to prepare the whitener powder and store them in packs..Not only the colour of the Buffalo milk helps the food manufactures commercially but also the super powerful naturally embedded higher levels of bio-protective factors such as Lactofferin, Lysozyme, lactoperoxidase and Immunoglobulins in Buffalo milk helps it to be used for preservation for longer time.

Both Cow's milk and Buffalo milk are rich in Magnesium, Potassium, Phosphorus, Sodium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese..The cow's milk has an extra coin here.. Yes, it has even Iron in it, which is excellent for the production of red blood cells in your body. Buffalo milk is no lesser, and instead of Iron it has Iodine which acts perfect on your thyroid and helps your thyroid hormonal levels to be in place:-)

When Buffalo milk is fed to kids, their tiny digestive system finds it tough in digesting the extra fats in it and may pass on the undigested fats which form into acids, which in turn tend to draw the salts stored in the body which play a major role in development of bones and growth and when these powerful salts are lost the poor innocent kids tend to suffer from Rickets. Hmm.. A VERY IMPORTANT POINT TO BE NOTED!!

So, Wat's up friends, which one do you prefer?? Cow's milk or Buffalo milk??
