Guava: Health Benefits
Guavas are a powerhouse of nutrients that improve your skin and health.
According to agriculturist Bonnie Grant and Healthline, guavas are packed with antioxidants, fiber, potassium, folic acid, and lycopene to keep you healthy, glowing, and strong.
Plus, like pomegranate, guava is packed with vitamin C, helping to boost immunity and keep your skin luminous. According to Half Your Plate, one medium guava contains 343% of your recommended daily vitamin C intake.
Guavas also contain folate, which improves digestion and blood pressure, says Healthline.
Together, all these nutrients help balance blood sugar, reduce cancer risk, fight aging, and more.
According to Medical News Today and Healthline, guava’s nutrients may even reduce type 2 diabetes symptoms, improve heart health, help weight loss, and cut cancer risk.
However, according to other studies, guava’s nutrients may even reduce flu risk and prevent the growth of cancer cells.
But guavas also transform your skin.
Guava: Benefits for Your Skin
Guava’s skin-friendly nutrients protect against environmental damage, fight acne and aging, and improve skin texture and tone.
Skin-Friendly Antioxidants
According to Healthline, guava’s antioxidants fight inflammation and protect skin from free radicals. Another fun fact? Guava leaf extract may even help heal breakouts.
Like papayas, guavas contain vitamins A and C, which fight wrinkles, boost collagen, smooth skin’s texture, and keep your skin youthful. And like tomatoes, guavas are rich in lycopene, says Healthline.
An antioxidant, lycopene protects against aging and free radicals, calms inflammation, and speeds healing. All these actions pave the way to glowing, youthful skin.
So, with all these health and beauty benefits, why wait? Treat your skin to these DIY guava face mask and smoothie recipes.
