The Benefits of Mangos
Okay,
for three days in a row, I am still talking about Boracay.
LOL~
I guess I really loved and enjoyed Boracay
and my mind is still wandering around the beach.
One thing that I really loved was MANGO!!!
The mango fruit and mango shake was
soooooooooooooo delicious,
I couldn't stop eating and drinking!!!
That place named Manana,
is one of the most famous mango shake store in Boracay,
nearby the White Beach.
I am still thinking about mango shake.. yummy!!!!
And then,
I became curious about the benefits of mango,
because it probably has other benefits,
besides the yummylicious taste!!!

9. Remedy for Heat Stroke
Juicing the fruit from green mango and mixing with water and a sweetener helps to cool down the body and prevent harm to the body. From an ayurvedic viewpoint, the reason people often get diuretic and exhausted when visiting equatorial climates is because the strong “sun energy” is burning up your body, particularly the muscles. The kidneys then become overloaded with the toxins from this process.
