Nutritional values
Mango is the unsung hero of the fruit family. As well as being a source of vitamin C, it's great for the skin, helps keep acidity levels at a healthy measurement, cleanses the blood and aids digestive problems.
Oranges are famously known for their vitamin C content but they are also an unlikely source of calcium and folic acid. They are great for the immune system and are said to internally cleanse the insides.
The magnesium in pineapples may help reduce stress levels by aiding the nervous system. These tropical fruits also contain bromelain - a digestive aid that helps clear bacteria from within.
