Administrators FlyJ Posted May 17, 2014 Administrators Share Posted May 17, 2014 Improves your immunity: Guavas contain four times the Vitamin C content present in oranges. Vitamin C helps in improving your immunity and thus keeps your body healthy and protects it from pathogens that cause infections. Improves hormonal function: Copper, present in guava, helps in the production and absorption of hormones. It helps in improving the function of your endocrine system, especially thyroid glands, which is responsible for the way in which you metabolise food, use energy, etc. Lowers cancer risk: Being rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants like lycopene, eating guavas can protect your cells from damage and reduce your chances of getting cancer. Additionally, Vitamin C boosts your immunity which is critical in fighting cancer cells. Good for diabetics: Rich in fibre and with a low glycaemic index, guavas can be consumed by diabetics and those who want to prevent diabetes. Anti-ageing properties for your skin: Guavas are rich in vitamins C, A and antioxidants like lycopene and carotene which protect your skin from wrinkles and fine lines, thus making you look younger. Helps treat constipation: Constipation is caused when food is stuck in our colon. Guava is rich in fibre, which helps in clearing the blocked pathway, thus curing your constipation. Improve vision: Even though, guavas are not as rich in Vitamin A as carrots, they are still a very good source of the nutrient. Vitamin A helps keep your eyes in good condition, and also helps improve your vision. For pregnant mothers: Guavas contain Folic acid, or Vitamin B-9, which is recommended for pregnant mothers since it can help in developing the baby’s nervous system and protect the newborn from neurological disorders. Helps you relax: Magnesium present in guavas helps in relaxing your nerves and muscles. In today’s stressful times, consuming a guava to combat stress and relax is certainly a good idea. Good for your brain: Guavas contain vitamins B3 and B6, also known as niacin and pyridoxine, which helps in improving blood circulation to the brain and relaxing your nerves.
