Mangoes also help maintain the body's alkaline reserve. Mangoes aid digestion because they contain enzymes that break down protein. Consuming moderate amounts will not spike up blood sugar levels due to the fruit's low glycemic index.

Unripe mangoes and the fruit's leaves are often used as medicine. Fresh mango juice helps the body cool down in cases of heat strokes.
