How to reduce heat while eating mangoes

The heat causing properties of mangoes are to be blamed on the phytic acid present in it. The phytic acid in the mangoes generates heat in the body. Soaking them in water helps in leaching out the access of this phytic acid and making them less heat generating.

The white sappy fluid in the mangoes contains anti-nutrient phytic acid that disturbs the absorption of vitamins and minerals. Mangoes usually raise the temperature of the body, producing thermogenesis. Therefore, soaking them in water for half an hour reduces its thermogenic properties.

Soaking mangoes in water reduces the natural heat (taasir) and makes it safe for the body and skin.

Some people are more prone to side effects of mangoes. As their body entraps heat already, mangoes cause that to build up even more. This results in health concerns like heartburn, acidity and indigestion in some.

hence it is always advisable to soak the mangoes in water before consumption.

Here are three ways to gorge on mangoes minus the pimples, acidity and heartburn:

• Remember to pre-soak them for 2 hours to prevent pimples after eating mangoes.
• Also include a glass of vegan or dairy based milk in your diet when having mangoes to balance the body heat.
• Avoid mixing ripe mangoes with yogurt as it increases body heat and can cause heat imbalances. So worry not and enjoy your seasonal treats to get its maximum benefits..
