“A BJJ Workouts Training Video by Jason C. Brown”

Since this is a BJJ or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Blog I thought I would share with you the absolute best way to cut and eat a mango.

Mangoes are a huge part of Brazilian culture and I’ve never been in a Brazilain house that did not have a few mangoes sitting around.

Mangoes offer some of the best nutrition for BJJ players as well.

Here’s just a few nutritional facts:

Originally from India, mangoes have been around for over 4,000 years. According to legend, Buddha found peace in a mango grove. In modern day India, mangoes are considered a symbol of life.

Mangoes are one of the best sources of betacarotene, quercetin and astragalin. These are powerful antioxidants that neutralise free radicals. Free radicals can damage cells and lead to heart disease, cancer, premature aging and degenerative diseases.

Vitamin Powerhouse

One small mango provides a quarter of your recommended daily allowance for vitamin C, nearly two thirds of your daily quota for vitamin A, good amounts of vitamin E and fibre. They also contain vitamin K, phosphorus and magnesium. Mangoes are particularly rich in potassium which can help reduce the risk of high blood pressure.

P.S. Sorry about the dark video. The sun was messing everything up! But without the sun we wouldn’t have any mangoes so it’s ok.
