Nature Inspiration: Mangoes!

Mango
Not only is this a deliciously healthy fruit for eating, but it’s a delightful color to wear!

Why you should eat mangoes:
Prevents cancer. There is significant research that shows that the antioxidant compounds found in the mangoes are beneficial in preventing against colon, breast, leukemia, and prostate cancer! Look at that, mango beating cancer. That’s a win already!

Lowers cholesterol. With the mango’s high levels of fiber, pectin, and vitamin C; the fruit helps lower serum cholesterol levels. Kick high cholesterol to the curb just by eating a delicious fruit. Yum.

Clears your skin. Mangoes clear those clogged pores, eliminate pimples, and reduce redness. Use it internally (eating it) and externally for clear, beautiful, and fragrant skin.

Promotes healthy eyes. A benefit you can actually see. See what I did there? I did it again, I’ll stop. But seriously, just one cup of mango gives you 25% of the vitamin A you need in a day. With that, you’ll help prevent night blindness, keep eyes moist and relaxed, and even improve your vision.

A little something extra between the sheets. Mangoes have a lot of vitamin E. Therefore your sex drive will get a little boost when you eat this fancy little fruit. Oww oww, what’s to complain about there?

Help out that immune system. Stay healthy with mangoes and their great source of vitamin C and A (which we mentioned earlier). They also have 25 different carotenoids to keep that immune system kicking.

So now you’re incorporating mango into your diet, how can you incorporate it into your style?

Mangoes brought us the bright, lively orange color that the fruit portrays when cut open. It also has a vivid green and rustic red on its outer skin. These three colors are excellent choices for any wardrobe, and can effortlessly be worked into your collection.

Orange. Orange can be a tricky color to wear, but never fear! There’s a shade of orange for everyone. Orange is a vibrant and warm color that makes you glow. If you have olive skin, opt for a brighter orange that pops against your darker tone. On the other hand, those with a fairer complexion should choose lighter, creamier shades of orange to compliment warm undertones.

Green. Green can be worn in many ways and shades. Emerald greens tend to pop on fair-skinned blondes, but also compliment a darker complexion gracefully. Olive green brings out green and hazel eyes, and bright greens make dark skin and hair the stars of the show.

Red. Red is a rich color that truly makes every girl feel like royalty. Choose a bright red to emphasize power and importance, deep reds to ensure warmth, and royal reds for a show-stopping entrance.
