When you consider the long-term benefits (e.g., will I save money over the next ten years), there's no evidence that they are beneficial.

On the other hand, if you're looking at short-term costs (eg. What is the impact on my waistline? I think it is.

This question is very interesting, as it touches on two important aspects of nutrition: cost-effectiveness and health benefits. Strong evidence suggests that regular vegetable and fruit consumption reduces the risk of certain illnesses, such as cancer. However, evidence of cost-effectiveness is not as strong.

Both factors can be considered simultaneously to help you decide if healthy eating is worth it. This is called the Health Economic Assessment (HEA). It involves doing an analysis of the expected health outcomes from eating different types of foods, taking into account the associated costs of purchasing these foods.

Are there side effects from African Mango Extract usage?

African mango extract is free from known side effects. It is important to remember that this product can cause stomach upset and diarrhea in some people. Stop using the product immediately and consult your doctor if this happens.

How to Use African Mango Extract

You can easily take mango extract. Take a fresh, ripe mango and place the flesh in a blender. Blend until smooth.

If you prefer a smoother pulp, you may strain it. Store in a cool dark place.

You can freeze the pulp for future use. You don't need to buy another batch every mango season.

How To

African mango extract has potential benefits

African Mango Extracts are used to treat many health problems, including cancer. These extracts can be traced back to ancient Egypt where they were used for treating wounds and diabetes, as well as stopping bleeding.

In modern times, scientists at the University of Nigeria discovered that African mango extracts contain certain compounds such as Tannins, flavonoids, Vitamin C, polyphenols, carotenoids, tannin, and saponin, which help prevent blood clotting, fight free radicals, improve liver functions, reduce cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, promote cell growth, boost immune systems, and increase energy.

1. Cancer treatment. Around 50% of all cases of cancer worldwide are caused or exacerbated by environmental factors. It is therefore important to find ways to prevent the spread of cancer. Many studies have shown that antioxidants in foods like bananas, blueberries, broccoli, grapes, onions, oranges, peas, and tomatoes can help prevent cancer.
2. Antioxidants neutralize harmful substances known as "free radicals," which can damage cells and cause genetic mutations. Studies show that African mango extracts can slow down or even reverse the growth of tumors in mice. One study concluded that African Mango Extracts (cells grown in lab dishes) stopped the growth from human colon tumor cells. Another study revealed that African Mango Extract prevented the growth of prostate cancer cells (in living animals) in vivo by inhibiting their metabolism. These findings suggest that this product could potentially help treat some types of cancer.
3. Prevention of cancer. Recent research from the National Institutes of Health has shown that African mango extracts are effective in preventing breast cancer. They believe that African mangoes' active ingredients inhibit the activity of hormones responsible for estrogen production, which can increase breast cancer risk.
4. Inflammation Reduction. Inflammation occurs when chemicals produced by white cells attack foreign tissue. This can cause pain and swelling. Inflammation is caused by infection, injury, irritation, and other factors. Chronic inflammation can cause some diseases like arthritis and asthma. Research has shown that African mango extracts may reduce inflammation and the severity of many conditions.
5. Liver Function Improvement. It regulates digestion as well detoxification and protein production. A healthy liver is also important for other internal processes such as water balances, sugar levels, red blood cell counts, and water level. Research has shown African mango extracts have the ability to stimulate liver cell regeneration after being damaged by drugs and toxic substances. This may be why people who consume large amounts of African mango juice report feeling less tired after meals.
6. Blood Pressure Reduction. The American Heart Association recommends that adults maintain a blood pressure reading of between 120/80 and 140/90 mmHg. High blood pressure can cause damage to the arteries which increases the risk for strokes and heart attacks. Researchers from the University of California-Davis looked into the effects of African mango extracts on blood pressure in rats. Their research found that African mango extracts significantly decreased blood pressure.
7. Bone Building Bone building. The University of Alabama School of Medicine conducted a double-blind placebo-controlled study that found supplementation with 500mg of vitamin C3 and 2g of calcium daily along with 3 grams of potassium citrate significantly increased bone density. The amount of potassium citrate required was equivalent in daily consumption to 10 ounces freshly squeezed African mango juice.
8. Additional Benefits African mango extract is good for skin health. It increases blood circulation to the skin's surface. It stimulates collagen production, making the skin look younger and smoother. African mango also promotes hair growth, and helps prevent premature graying. It aids weight loss by increasing fat metabolism.
