Mangoes are a good part of an overall healthy diet because they are packed with nutrients and have many different types of polyphenols, including mangiferin, which is especially powerful. Polyphenols function as antioxidants inside your body. Mango is delicious and can be enjoyed in many ways. One of the best ways to add mango into your diet is making smoothies.  Mango goes with almost any type of fruits since they can intensify the flavor of other tropical fruits. Try passion, pineapple or papaya. One thing you should keep in mind is that they contain more sugar than many other fruits, so it is better to limit consuming mango to under two cups (330g) per day.
