7. Mango

Sometimes called the "king of fruits", mango is low in calories and packed full of essential nutrients. It is bursting with vitamin C and contains high levels of the copper and folate required for cell growth, which is especially vital during pregnancy.

Mango contains a bioactive compound called mangiferin that has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, supports the immune system, and helps prevent cell death. Researchers are looking into how mangiferin could prevent and treat memory impairment.
