Health Facts
Mangoes are an excellent source of beta carotene which the body converts into vitamin A. Diets
rich in beta carotene may help protect against certain types of cancer. Bananas contain a certain
type of fibre that helps stimulate the growth of “friendly” bacteria in the gut. They are also high
in potassium.
