Mangoes are delicious, but don't eat too much! Especially those who are allergic to mangoes.
How to eat this sweet and sour mango to reduce the chance of allergies?
1. Wash the peel
Mango trees belong to the class of sumac, so the sap in the branches contains urushiol, which will stimulate the body to release a large amount of histamine and cause allergies. During the picking process, the sap can easily touch the skin. Washing the peels can reduce the chance of allergies; in addition, if you are not sure whether you are allergic or not, you can wear gloves before touching the mango.
2. Sharpen instead of tearing
How do you "kill" mangoes? Do you just rip the skin with your hands, or peel it with a knife? The doctor pointed out that using "knife cutting" instead of "hand tearing" can remove more fine hairs between the peel and pulp, reduce allergies and reduce the degree of inflammation.
After talking badly about mangoes, now we need to help it save face. Mangoes are rich in nutrients and have many health benefits.
1. Lower cholesterol
The high content of vitamin C, dietary fiber, and pectin can help absorb high-cholesterol bile produced by the liver, and also reduce the content of low-density cholesterol in the blood, contributing to cardiovascular health.
2. Enhance brain memory
Mango contains a lot of glutamine, which is an important energy source to maintain the operation of the brain, and one of the indispensable fuels for the brain in memory. To keep the brain awake, eating mango is more natural than healthy food.
3. Protect your eyes
Mango is rich in vitamin A, which can prevent night blindness, and also help to secrete tears and relieve dry eyes.
4. Promotes Digestion
Mango is rich in digestive enzymes, commonly known as enzymes, which can help decompose foods with larger molecules and make it easier for the stomach to absorb; in addition, mango also has a lot of water and dietary fiber, which helps to promote gastrointestinal motility and solve constipation problems.
5. Prevent heat stroke
The gallic acid contained in mango can help the body to disinfect and eliminate more energy than heat. Adding it to ice products will keep you cool in the hot summer and avoid heat stroke.
It is indeed the king of summer fruits!
