June is National Mango Month

Mangoes are juicy fruits that are native to South Asia and have become one of the most harvested fruits in the tropical region of the world. They are a wonderful source of quercetin, beta-carotene, and astragalin, powerful antioxidants that have the capability of neutralizing free radicals and preventing premature aging.

Robert Sachs says, “In the summer, digestive fires (known in ayurveda as agni) are supported by the heat of the environment. Thus, summer is the best time for juicing. That said, clients need to keep fruits blended with fruits (berries, apples, pears, and grapes), tropical fruits (oranges, grapefruits, mangoes, and bananas), and melons by themselves.”
