Discover the power of this miracle fruit

Guava is one of the most delicious fruits known for its rich nutrient content. Guava trees are native to Central America and produce a round or oval fruit that has light green or yellow skin and seeds that can be eaten.

The fruit and the leaves are both edible—the former is often consumed raw as a snack, while the latter are typically boiled into an herbal tea or taken as a supplement.

Guava fruits and leaves are high in vitamins, minerals, protein, fiber, and antioxidants that may help heart health, digestion, blood sugar regulation, immunity, and general wellbeing, Healthline notes.

Guava thrives in both dry and humid tropical areas and is a powerhouse of a fruit when it comes to health and wellbeing. Guava contributes to “healthy weight” as well as other important body systems.

A balanced diet that includes guava in any form would not only be a tasty but also a healthy option to include in daily servings.

According to research, guava may:

1. Help lower blood sugar levels

A 2022 study suggests that guava leaf extract improved blood sugar levels, long-term blood sugar control, and insulin resistance in animals. The effect is the same at humans, another study reveals.

The fruit is diabetic-friendly with a low glycemic index that helps prevent blood sugar spikes, and supports better glucose control.

2. Boost Heart Health

Thanks to its potassium, fiber, and antioxidants, which help regulate blood pressure, cholesterol, and reduce oxidative stress, consuming guava can support heart health.

The leaf extract may also lower LDL cholesterol, raise HDL cholesterol, and improve overall cardiovascular health.

3. Improve Your Digestive System

Dietary fiber is essential for a healthy gut, and guavas are an excellent source of it. As such, they help prevent constipation and aid bowel movement.

4. Promote Weight Loss

Guavas are rich in fiber but low in calories, and on top of that, they are rich in vitamins and minerals, so doesn’t that sound like the perfect snack?

5. Help Boost Your Immunity

Not only is guava rich in Vitamin C, but it provides four times more of it than oranges.

In fact, a single guava fruit provides more than double the reference daily intake (45 mg) for vitamin C, and it is a well-known fact that this vitamin plays crucial role in maintaining a healthy immune system, Healthline notes.

Further, guava is also good for your skin thanks to its antioxidants, as well as for your vision because of the amounts of Vitamin A it contains.

You can eat it raw or you can use the leaves to make yourself a nice cup of tea.
