    Popularly grown in South-East Asian countries like Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia, mangosteen is a sweet and tangy tropical fruit that is high in antioxidants, nutrients, and fiber. Also known as the Queen of Fruits, the juicy and pulpy mangosteen is low in calories and has several health benefits. Mangosteen was also the favorite fruit of Queen Victoria. Here are five benefits of mangosteen.

    Here is what our expert says

    • Mangosteen is considered a superfruit because of its benefits in a diverse set of diseases.
    • Its biological activity is due to the high content of a group of isoprenylated polyphenols called xanthones.
    • Xanthones have demonstrated very strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer activity.
    • Mangosteen has been found to be effective in depression, bipolar and prostate disorders. It's also being studied in oral and cervical cancers.

    Helps in weight loss

    High in dietary fiber, mangosteen is popularly known for promoting weight loss. The pulpy and juicy fruit is cholesterol-free, has low calories and zero saturated fats that aid weight loss. According to experts, mangosteen has anti-inflammatory properties that promote fat metabolism and prevent obesity. According to a study, people who consumed mangosteen juice twice daily experienced a lower body mass index than others.

    Helps to boost your immunity

    Loaded with Xanthones, vitamin C, and fiber, mangosteen helps to maintain a healthy immune system. The antioxidant properties in vitamin C strengthen immune cell functioning that boosts your immunity, while fiber improves your gut bacteria. Xanthones, on the other hand, eliminate the harmful free radicals from your body. The anti-bacterial properties of mangosteen also fight against harmful bacteria and protect your immune system.

    Promotes skin health

    Mangosteen can protect your skin against various infections and diseases due to its anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties. Xanthone and vitamin C in mangosteen repair the damaged skin cells and promote your skin health. These fruits are also effective in treating acne by suppressing Cytokine production and eliminating free radicals. The antioxidant called catechins present in mangosteen also reduces wrinkles and signs of aging.

    Improves your digestive health

    Fiber is well-known for treating stomach problems and other digestive issues. So load your plate with fiber-rich mangosteen to improve your digestive system and stay healthy. Mangosteen helps to prevent constipation and promotes smooth bowel movement. The peel and pericarp of the fruit are also effective in treating diarrhea and dysentery. It also improves the intake of prebiotics to keep your intestines healthy.

    Improves your heart health

    Mangosteen helps to dilate the blood vessels and activates the healthy flow of blood to the vital organs of your body. Mangosteen is packed with hypotensive properties that eliminate high blood pressure symptoms like hypertension, stress, heart palpitations, and intense headache. It also normalizes your heart rate and helps in regulating your blood pressure. This protects your body from severe heart ailments and attacks.
