AntioxidantsMangoes are also a source of beta-carotene, potassium, and vitamin C. Beta-carotene is a substance in the body is converted into vitamin A (nutrients essential for retinal function). Beta-carotene (and vitaminC) are also classified as antioxidants, compounds that may provide protection against cancer because it can neutralize free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules produced by the body's normal chemical processes, solar or cosmic radiation, cigarette smoke and other environmental influences.
In the body, the majority of free radicals derived from complex chemical processes when oxygen is used in the cell. Free radicals are chemically incomplete can "steal" the particles from other molecules.
He then produces abnormal compounds and create a chain reaction that can damage cells, causing a fundamental change in the genetic material and important parts of other cells. Simply put, how free radicals damage the body's cells, similar to the process of oxygen causes the paper turns yellow or butter becomes rancid. Antioxidant nutrients, such as beta-carotene and vitamin C, make free radicals harmless to neutralize it.
Nutrients it contains abundant antioxidants in mango fruit. The content of beta-carotene and vitamin C (along with potassium, vitamin A activity, carbohydrate, energy and water) of some sort every 100 grams of mangoes can be seen in some libraries.

One study showed that if one adds a piece of fruit high in potassium into the daily diet, the risk of fatal stroke can be reduced by 40 percent. Extra consumption of 400 mg of potassium each day can reduce the chances of getting heart and blood vessel disease.
Potassium are abundant in the mango. Every 100 grams of mangoes contained 189 mg of potassium. By eating a mango harumanis very small size (at least 250 grams), or a mango gedong medium size (200-250 g), potassium adequacy of 400 mg per day can be met.
