I love mangoes. I cannot wait for mango season to come around to make mango recipes like this tasty mango smoothie.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This mango smoothie has 5 simple ingredients and only takes 5 minutes to make this super delicious smoothie. Therefore it is the perfect smoothie to make when you don’t have time to cook a hot meal for breakfast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, before we get to the mango smoothie recipe, let’s discuss the health benefits of mangoes and chia seeds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Health Benefits Of Mango <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mangifera indica L.<\/em>, more commonly known as mango or the “the king of fruits<\/a>,” is the most popular fruit in tropical regions. Mango is the Philippines’ and India’s national fruit and Bangladesh’s national tree.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More importantly, mango fruit<\/a>, pulp, and leaves are a staple part of Ayurvedic medicines. Mangoes have been used to treat multiple medical issues such as digestive or gastrointestinal conditions for thousands of years.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mango, as well as their leaves, contains vitamins such as riboflavin, niacin, thiamine, and minerals. Vitamins and minerals play a role in boosting the immune system<\/a>, which helps protect the body against specific infections, inflammation, and even some forms of cancer.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mangoes also contain rich levels of bioactive compounds<\/a>, including ascorbic acid (vitamin C), \u03b2-carotene, and phenolic compounds. These compounds function as antioxidants, and daily consumption can prevent degenerative damage associated with conditions such as cancer or cardiovascular diseases.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am not saying you should consume mangoes every day. Too much of anything is not good, even if it is delicious sweet mangoes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fruits such as berries, red grapes, peaches, watermelon, and tomatoes are rich in antioxidants. Therefore you can eat different fruits every day and still reap the same benefits of antioxidants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to vitamin C, mangoes also contain soluble solids<\/a>. These compounds can decrease levels of bad cholesterol. Mangoes also provide a rich supply of potassium which can regulate your heartbeat and blood pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Health Benefits Of Chia Seeds <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chia seeds are the other star of this smoothie and are loaded with nutritional compounds. Chia seeds contain rich levels of omega-3 fatty acids<\/a>. Omega-3 fatty acids can protect against inflammation, decrease cholesterol levels, and boost cognitive performance.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to this, chia seeds also contain rich levels of polyphenols which act as antioxidants. These antioxidants can protect the body from certain types of cancer and free radicals. Chia seeds also have anti-aging effects, which is why it is used heavily in the skincare industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chia seeds also contain polyunsaturated fatty acids<\/a> (PUFA). These long-chain fatty acids stem from \u03b1linolenic acid and are associated with a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also have beneficial effects on rheumatoid arthritis and bronchial asthma. Additionally, epidemiological studies imply dietary fatty acids rich in \u03b1-linolenic acid improved childhood teaching and behavior and decreased the occurrence of psychiatric illness in adults.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t
