Im healthy- do I need to be taking the mangosteen fruit?
In my opinion the mangosteen fruits greatest asset is not its therapeutic properties, but rather its preventive properties. With a daily serving of mangosteen, consumers are actively building up their defense against sickness. It is said that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. This adage certainly holds true for the mangosteen. Twenty three percent of the North American population will die of cancer. Fifty-two percent will die of consequences of arteriosclerosis (heart attack and stroke). Both of these terrible killers are essentially lifestyle diseases, which mean that proper diet, adequate exercise and judicious supplementation can largely prevent to reduce the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein, the first step in the development in atherosclerosis. Its powerful antioxidants also protect against genetic mutations of DNA, which can lead to cancer.
