Published on June 28, 2020, by Nyakundi Report, this article highlights the numerous benefits of guavas.
While lemons and oranges are often associated with high vitamin C content, guavas actually contain more of this essential nutrient. In fact, a 100-gram guava provides over 200 milligrams of vitamin C, which is 380% of the recommended daily value. In contrast, an orange contains only 53.2 milligrams of vitamin C.
Guavas are also rich in antioxidants, which can help protect against chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer. The fruit has been traditionally used in many cultures to treat various health conditions, including digestive issues and fever.
Guavas are widely available in major green grocery markets and some supermarkets. To get the most nutritional benefits from guavas, it's recommended to consume them in the morning, before meals, or as a snack. Eating fruit after a workout can also help refuel the body.
Guava leaves are also used to make herbal tea, and the leaf extract is used as a supplement and in hair and beauty treatments.
