Description

Health benefits of Mangosteen:

Promotes Heart Health

Mangosteen ensures proper blood flow to all organs of the body, particularly to the heart, by dilating blood vessels. This hypotensive quality of mangosteen is very valuable in remedying high blood pressure symptoms such as an intense high bp headache, stress and palpitations. It also controls the levels of triglycerides, regulates heart rate and aids in maintaining normal blood pressure. It is hence highly effective in preventing severe cardiac ailments such as chest pain, heart congestion and atherosclerosis.

Boosts Immune Function

Being abundant in vitamin C, mangosteen offers protective antioxidant properties and builds an efficient immune system. Antioxidants eliminate harmful free radicals from destroying the healthy cells in the body, while the proteins called antibodies defend the system against viruses which cause diseases such as pneumonia, flu and common cold.

Enhances Brain Activity

Packed with flavonoids (powerful antioxidants) and folate (vitamin B9), mangosteen assists in the smooth transmission of signals via nerves leading to the brain. Moreover, it prevents the accumulation of plaques in brain cells and also improves memory. It is hence very useful in augmenting cognitive capabilities in neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s disease.

Lowers Blood Sugar Levels

Mangosteen not only offers a delightful taste but also supplies profuse amounts of dietary fibers and xanthones – powerful phytonutrients with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Soluble and insoluble fibers help regulate appetite, control untimely cravings, promote digestion, augment energy metabolism. Besides, xanthones in mangosteen eliminate detrimental free radicals, toxins from the body and elevate insulin synthesis, functions for better processing of blood glucose to be assimilated by the muscle cells. This helps to keep blood sugar levels in check and effectively manage diabetes symptoms.

Prevents Incidence Of Cancer

Mangosteen is bestowed with a plethora of bioactive components derived from plants – phytonutrients, which possess great anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-cancer attributes. Compounds including polyphenols, xanthones, tannins, procyanidins, anthocyanins display tremendous potential in destroying tumour cells and halting the metastasis of cancer cells within the body. Moreover, they considerably suppress the formation of malignant tissues in numerous key vital internal organs such as the breasts, lungs, liver, kidneys, stomach, intestines and pancreas, so as to avert the risk of cancer.
