Health Facts
Mangoes are an excellent source of betacarotene and are believed to have cancer fighting
properties. They also provide good amounts of vitamin C and useful amounts of fibre. Yoghurt
contains calcium that helps protect against osteoporosis and research suggests it may also help in
controlling blood pressure. Live yoghurt helps the intestinal tract by regenerating good bacteria.
