Overview

I remember most fruit I had as a kid leaned toward the sweet side of things. I never had things like avocados or grapefruit, for example. Now while mandarins are considered to be sweet, like all citrus fruit, there is a degree of sourness mixed in which used to intrigue me because I thought all fruit was supposed to be nothing but sweet. Anyway, mandarins pack a vitamin C punch among other benefits which you can read down below.

11 Mandarin Benefits

• Cancer Killer
• Blood Pressure
• Boosts Immunity
• Manages Cholesterol
• Heals Injuries
• Bone Health
• Heart Health

• Supports Kidneys

1. Highly Nutritious

Mandarins contain plenty of minerals such as calcium, copper, potassium, phosphorous, and magnesium. They also contain vitamins A, B, and especially C.

2. Cancer Killer

Cancer cells have good reason to fear these small, round-shaped, orange coloured fruits. Packed with antioxidants and a substance called limonene, these help combat damage caused by free radicals and helps prevent cell mutations from occurring.

3. Blood Pressure

One of the functions of potassium is to allow blood to flow smoothly throughout the arteries, thereby lowering blood pressure.

4. Boosts Immunity

Due to a large amount of vitamin C in mandarins, they are fantastic at supporting the immune system.

5. Manages Cholesterol

Mandarins produce a chemical synephrine which combined with the fibre and antioxidants contained in mandarins, help manage cholesterol levels by reducing the amount of bad cholesterol and promoting the amount of good cholesterol in the body.  

6. Heals Injuries

Mandarin oil, when applied to wounds, can cleanse them and speed up the recovery process. The oil is also great at keeping the skin healthy.

7. Bone Health

The minerals magnesium, phosphorous and calcium all contribute to the growth and maintenance of healthy teeth and bones.

8. Heart Health

Potassium, fibre, and vitamin C and B6 in mandarins are known to contribute towards a healthy heart.

9. Performance Booster

Potassium and magnesium both serve to help prevent muscle cramps and tightness in the body, making mandarins a great supplement post-workout or before going to sleep.

10. Detoxing Agent

Mandarins can purify the blood and remove toxins from the body, granting them detoxing benefits to the body. They can help reduce the strain on the liver by lightening the purification workload that the liver conducts as a primary function.

11. Supports Kidneys

Mandarins can raise the citrate levels in the body, which can help prevent the formation of kidney stones.

Conclusion

Eat them raw, or add the slices to sweet salads or desserts – the options are aplenty. If nothing else, choose mandarins for their high vitamin C content to help prevent infections, especially during the winter season.
