Some of the  health benefits of this super healthy Green Mango / mavina kayi are  rich in vitamin C and antioxidants. Eating green mango with salt during the summer time helps to prevent water loss from the body. It helps in reducing liver problems and cleans the bacterial infections in the intestine.  It is amazing that the nature gives us the right vegetables and fruits  to take care of our body for seasonal changes. Green Mango is available  usually during  early summer, eating this will keep us hydrated, likewise eating Ellu Bella in Sankrathi keep us away from the dryness of skin. My sincere suggestion is please visit local markets, buy locally grown Organic vegetables and fruits. Consuming local, seasonal produce helps our body to rejuvenate, heal and moreover  it is fresh 🙂
