Mangoes are rich in the three most powerful antioxidants vitamins – A, C and E which reduces deposition of cholesterol on the arteries and prevents premature aging. They are rich in Potassium and low in Sodium making them highly recommended in cases of high blood pressure since they aid in its control.
