one of the most important glands in the body for regulating hormones and organ
system function, so guava can help balance your health in many ways.

Vitamin C and antioxidants like lycopene (లైకోపీన్), 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.
4. AGEING:
Ageing is the most
common problem in our busy life. Ageing is mostly caused to natural factor like
increase in age. But due to pollution, UV radiation and smoke ageing process
has been stimulated at an early age and it is faster than natural. The main
cause of ageing is free radical produced in our body due to high oxidative
stress caused due to pollution. But antioxidants have proven to destroy these
free radicals to slow the ageing process. It has also been found that people
eating high antioxidant foods have slow ageing effect than natural. So guava
proves best food to slow the ageing process than natural.
5. HEALTHY DIET FOR
DIABETES:
Rich in fibre and
with a low glycaemic index, guavas can be consumed by diabetics and those who
want to prevent diabetes. When you have diabetes, your body stops producing
insulin which is responsible for the absorption of glucose. Consuming fruits
and vegetables rich in fibre is recommended.

Diabetes is a serious
disease in which the body cannot properly control the amount of sugar in your
blood because it does not have enough insulin. In other words, diabetes means a
disorder of the metabolism causing excessive thirst and the production of large
amounts of urine.

nutrient. Vitamin A helps keeps your eyes in good condition, and also helps

Vitamin A deficiency.

tremendous positive benefits of guavas is the presence of B3 and B6 vitamins.

function. B6 is a great nutrient for brain and nerve function. Therefore,
eating guava can help you increase brain function and sharpen you focus. It helps
in improving blood circulation to the brain and relaxing your nerves.

neurological disorders.

richest sources of dietary fiber in terms of fruit. Constipation is caused when
food is stuck in our colon. Guava is rich in fibre which helps in clearing the
blocked pathway and thus curing your constipation.

helpful for those who want to lose weight without compromising their intake of
proteins, vitamins and fiber. Guava is very high rich in vitamins, proteins and
minerals, but it has no cholesterol and a low number of digestible
