The best mango tree produces a tropical fruit, loved by most, worshiped by some and it has very delicious and nutritious reasons for that!

Known as the “King of Fruits,” let me tell you first hand we stock this one at the castle because of her incredible spread of nutrition and performance enhancement.

A juicy drupe belonging to the genus Mangifera, a genus of flowering plants in the cashew family, Anacardiaceae, contains approximately 69 species, with the best-known being the common (Mangifera indica).

This fruit is native to South Asia and is the national fruit of India, Pakistan, and the Philippines, and the national tree of Bangladesh – whose national fruit is the best jackfruit.

I love the little kings, they are excellent dietary fiber, likely the most excellent I myself have ever consumed.

Pigging out on three to six mangoes can relieve the bowels, completely. Fiber is such a huge focus for the Nutritional Diversity diet, and mango really is of the best dietary fiber sources.

I eat the leaves almost every day, and here in Panama, I can find those leaves around towns and the city no problem if I am in one.

When the best mango fruits are in season I am sure to run around indulging all season long! The strongest season here I usually get kingly starts about now as I edit this one mid-March. Mid-April through mid-May they will be dumping!

It has become my healthiest time of the year when I am not near the beloved jackfruit that is.

In Tamil Nadu, the mango is referred to as one of the three ‘royal fruits,’ along with banana and jackfruit, for their sweetness and flavor. This triad of fruits is referred to as ma-pala-vazhai.

I note it as a royal relative; in my carefully chosen arsenal of species, included in my tropical island initial Nutritional Diversity selections. Royal, brain food, and tropical island are all some of my favorite phrases, and I am lucky that they are all parts of my life.

Sanskrit Ellora Cave artwork

The Sanskrit Goddess Ambika, is depicted in the ‘Ellora Caves,’ as sitting under a Mango tree. In other works of sculpture, she has depicted holding, on one hand, one mango and one mango branch, on the other hand. In the remaining two of Ambika’s four arms, she holds her two sons in one, and in the other rein.

The mango seems to be represented as something equally important as two sons, on one hand, the mango branch taking up a full of another hand could represent the power of mango leaf or wood, or who knows.

I would like to think the rein represents discipline, and ‘having the reins on things.”

Galla hormone production in the brain is supported by mango, it is a brain fruit, and this is why I have chosen it as a Nutritional Diversity original 30 – the first 30 plant species written about on NutritionalDiversity.com.

Other reasons for this priority selection are its alkaline and anti-cancer properties (cancer is one of today’s leading health afflictions), effective and well study against several of the most common cancers.

Mango leaves and trees are great members of the farm, providing great cover, and aroma, and we use the baby leaves in our green smoothies, often.

The mango peel is also rich in phytonutrients, such as the pigment antioxidants like carotenoids and polyphenols, so after you create your super solid snack with mango, save the peel for a face wipe (see ‘topical application’ below) or include it in a later day smoothie. These peels also work great for making fertilizers and composts.

Mango contains enzymes that help in breaking down protein, including high levels of glutamine acids. The fibrous nature of mango helps in digestion and elimination. It is rich in pre-biotic dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, and good sugars for blood-building and nutrient uptake.

I really like mango’s a lot a few times in the week because they are brain food, they really activate the senses, especially while in the meditative or training-meditative zone.

It is even said that mangoes stimulate or strengthen the effects of other neurologically activating foods. So those of you advanced in Nutritional Diversity Science who are starting to narrow more effective shakes and come up with more dynamic combinations, remember mangoes and brain-stimulating fruits.

Take mango with other certain herbal supplements, and while you study, and want to hone your focus.

Mango Nutrition

Some say a mango a day keeps the doctor away. I say a mango, plus an avocado, and a variety of 60 more food species a.k.a., a Nutritional Diversity, each day to keep the doctor very far away, and in an optimal human state – human optimization.

Like oranges, mangos go great as a mid-gym snack, or half at mid-workout and the other half after to help healthy vitamin uptake from other foods and supplements and to give the system a nice vitamin c boost.

This vitamin c consumption during training times also helps fight off infectious things and viruses in the gyms or from the team such and cases of flu and staff infections.

Mango studies have found that the fruit is rich in tartaric acid, malic acid, and traces of citric acid that primarily help in maintaining the alkali reserve of the body.

Alkalinity could* be the main health factor in humans.

Interesting:

Professor Ehrett died a young death by head trauma in 1922, his popular lecture on a Mucesless Diet System of Eating Your Way Back to Health, which was published decades later, focuses on acids that convert to alkaline in the body and maintaining a sufficient level of alkalinity as the reining factor over human health and against human illness.

I myself, do not agree, with Ehrett’s entire published lectures under this title. However, on the main point, I do agree with alkalinity being a king factor over human health, and mucus being a king factor in unhealth.

✵ Nutritional Diversifists will inherently address this very element of alkalinity well, at least better than any other diet planning to date will.

✵ Following the Nutritional Diversity complete regimen delivers a perfect ph, and alkaline balance to the human system, more so than any other popular modern diet by tenfold.

✵ Those of you reading only for nutritional information regarding the mango, enjoy knowing that mango is an alkalinity creation food in the body.

I try to eat at least one king fruit a day, but that is easy for me here in paradise.

MANGO BENEFITS

Mango plants produce fleshy stone fruits rich in phytochemicals with an undisputed nutritional value for their high content of polyphenolics and vitamins. This review provides an overview of the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties of mango, a fruit that should be included in everyone’s diet for its multifaceted biochemical actions and health-enhancing properties. [1]

Mango fruit has a high nutritional value and health benefits due to its important components. [2] A cool study where phytonutrients are mapped to color.

In vitro testing of mango fruit snack bars, pointed at fermentation and gastronomical digestive super results. [3]

Antidiabetic and blood leveling effects of the fruit are significant. [4]

It was reported that honey bees (Apis spp.) and flies (Musca domestica and Chrysomya megacephala) were responsible for successful pollination hence good mango production in Taiwan. In India, reared Lucilia sp. (Calliphoridae) and Sarcophaga sp. (Sarcophagidae) flies in their attempt to increase the abundance of pollinators in a mango orchard.

These flies were supplemented with fish or mutton pieces in mesh bags hung on the lower branches of mango trees. Meanwhile, Apis cerana was kept for pollination of mango flowers in addition to producing honey in a small-scale industry in Thailand. [5,6]

Topical nutrition products with mango, logical best cocoa butter or coconut oil substitute skincare products that are effective and they could also help small families to form small businesses with homemade products and get out of poverty. [7]

MANGO SIDE EFFECTS

We have munched tons of mangos and lived under the trees and experienced no side effects, other than great health and tons of energy.

MANGO EXPERIENCE

Mangos and their leaves are incredible stomach nutrition, too good to pass up, also because they are a really good help to pass on; all the other foods you eat in your Nutritional Diversity, both in uptake and in the movement towards the exit. Both of these two factors are very important to overall performance.

Mangos and their leaves aid the health of the stomach track in so many ways, preventing cancer’s alkalizing the system, and providing the right ingredients to keep steady bowel flow, a key to human health.

Mango Leaves

In India, they say that ‘Aam ke patte’ (Hindi) can bid adieu to many sicknesses. This is a reference to mango leaves dried and crushed into powder. The leaves of the Mango tree should not be ignored.

Mango leaves contain tannin, alkaloids, glycoside, steroids, triterpenoids, saponins, mangiferin, phenolic, and flavonoid components.

In addition, mango leaves have antimicrobial properties that can be used as a functional food. Mango leaves also can inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.

Anthocyanin content in mango leaves is expressed as a character in red, purple, and blue. This is the color spectrum I harvest for smoothies, stir-fries, and salads.

The passage in the bible, about knowing if a tree is good by its fruits, is very true for the mango tree, as its fruits are delicious, and the entire tree is a powerful health benefit to humans, permacultures, and gardens everywhere.

MANGO DISCUSSION

Antioxidants like quercetin, isoquercitrin, astragalin, fisetin, gallic acid, and methyl gallate present in mango protect the body against cancers of the colon, prostate, breast, and even leukemia.

Vitamin B-6 or pyridoxine is required for GABA hormone production within the brain. It also controls homocysteine levels within the blood, which may otherwise be harmful to blood vessels resulting in coronary artery disease (CAD), and stroke. Mango has a low glycemic index (41-60) so going a little overboard will not increase your sugar levels.

So many recommend a tea made with the leaves, and while the flavor is great of this tea I do not recommend tea making, and if tea making is practiced possibly not drinking the liquid while it is hot should be employed.

I say take some green and the red baby mango leaves for 5% of a nice salad, and some more baby leaves and one adult, or a portion of one adult leaf for 5% of a nice smoothie.

This mango and mango leaf, soak or tea is said to treat a wide variety of ailments, many related to blood sugars.

Treating Diabetes (contain tannins and anthocyanins)

Mango tree leaves contain tannins and anthocyanins, which help to treat diabetes early. Mango leaves tea, or two-day soak, or blended up raw (best), is very good for helping to treat diabetic angiopathy and diabetic retinopathy. It also helps to treat hyperglycemia. The leaves contain a compound called taraxerol-3beta, and the ethyl acetate extract that has a synergy with insulin and stimulates the synthesis of glycogen, balancing out and optimizing the blood.

Hypertension & Nervousness

Mango leaves have been very proven as a home remedy for nervousness, even treating small veins, varicose veins, and the vascular system and related dysfunctions that can underline these issues. For other reasons too, in the mango brain stimulus, it has been considered a mood booster and even an aphrodisiac.

Topical Application / Topical Nutrition

Give skin a vita-topical boost while also naturally cleaning the pores of dirt that can cause acne. Better than any store-bought stuff with 20 cancer-causing chemicals in it, Mango is all you need to balance out the skin, but this with jackfruit, coconut, and avocado rubbed on regularly and you should have the skin of Gods.

Considering that the skin is a large organ and bleach and fluoridated water showers or hard water showers do very visible damage, an all-natural compound of complex phytonutrients such as the mango can only be a good thing.

Mango Permaculture

Mango Trees can be very productive if fertilized, loved, and placed in the right spot.

Mango trees grow to 35–40 m (115–131 ft) tall, with a crown radius of 10 m (33 ft). The trees are long-lived, with some specimens that still fruit after 300 years

Until the next update. I am going to say to take a mango, a mango seed, and maybe a mango branch if you are daring, and get it better than any article will give it to you! Maybe get a couple of each of those items so you can really conduct your experiment….

Experimenting …

I recently hit one of two mango trees I have on the south side of the house, with a bag of beach sand. The ginger planted at the base of the tree didn’t like it so much and turned light tan at the ends of the leaves, but the Mango tree loved it and caught up to a long time taller other mango trees with the shoots that tree did not get at that time, whereas they mostly develop new stages together.

Mango trees are known to be strong growers, that can pretty much grow anywhere down here.

A friend and wood artist of mine Richard, from Boston, says he loves to work mango wood, that it is beautiful and the smell of burning is “something else!”
