Guava
The guava is native to the Caribbean. Its skin is
thin, light yellow and blushed with pink. A ripe
guava softens to the touch. Guavas emit a strong,
sweet, pungent fragrance. The flesh is white, red
or salmon-colored and flavor ranges from
strawberry to lemon to tropical.

Guavas like other tropical fruits should not be


refrigerated unless over ripe. The seeds of a guava
can be eaten and the taste is often described as a
cross between pears and strawberries.

Health Benefits of Guava

- Diarrhea & Dysentery: Guava is very rich in astringents (compounds those


make your gums feel tighter and fresh after you chew guava leaves or eat a raw
guava or use some toothpaste) which binds up loose bowels in diarrhea. These
astringents are alkaline in nature and have disinfectant and anti-bacterial
properties, thus help cure dysentery by inhibiting microbial growth and removing
extra mucus from the intestines. Further, other nutrients in guava, such as
vitamin-C, Carotenoids and potassium strengthens and tones up the digestive
system and disinfect it. Guava is also beneficial in gastroenteritis due to reasons
stated above.

- Constipation: Guava is one of the riches sources of dietary fiber. Its seeds, if
ingested whole or chewed, serve as excellent laxatives. These two properties of
guava help forming bowels, retaining water and clean your intestines and
excretory system thoroughly. It is said that single constipation can lead to seventy
two types of ailments. It is absolutely true. Every way to your total health goes
through proper digestion and more importantly, proper excretion. Guava
ensures both of these.

- Cough & Cold: Juice of raw and immature guavas or decoction of guava-
leaves is very helpful in giving relief in cough and cold by loosening cough,
reducing mucus, disinfecting the respiratory tract, throat and lungs and inhibiting
microbial activity due to its astringent properties. Guava is one of richest in
vitamin-C and iron which are proven to be preventive against cold and viral
infections. In some areas in India, roasted ripe guava is used as a remedy against
extreme cases of cough and cold and congestion.

- Skin Care: Guavas can help improve your skin texture and avoid skin
problems more than the best of beauty creams or skin toner gels can do. This is
chiefly due to the abundance of astringents in its fruits (more in immature ones)
and in leaves. You can benefit from it either by eating the fruits (this help tighten
your muscles apart from your skin) or by washing your skin with the decoction of
its immature fruits and leaves. It will tone up and tighten the loosened skin. In
addition to the astringents, guava is very-very rich in vitamin-A, B, C and
potassium which are very good anti oxidants and detoxifiers and keep your skin
glowing and free from aging, wrinkles and other disorders.

- High Blood Pressure: Guava helps reduce cholesterol in blood and prevents
it from thickening, thereby maintaining fluidity of blood and reducing blood
pressure. Studies have shown that food stuffs which lack fiber (such a refined
flour) add to blood pressure, due to quick conversion to sugar. Guava, being
very rich in fiber and hypoglycemic in nature, helps reduce blood pressure.

- Weight Loss: Guava is very helpful for those who want to lose weight without
compromising with their intake of proteins, vitamins and fiber. Guava, being
very high in roughage and very rich in vitamins, proteins and minerals, but with
no cholesterol and less digestible carbohydrates, is very filling and satisfies
appetite very easily. Just have a medium sized guava in the lunch and you will
not feel hungry till night. But ironically, it helps gaining weight in lean and thin
people. This is probably due to its richness in nutrients, which keeps your
metabolism right helping proper absorption of nutrients.

- Scurvy: Guava can outdo many other fruits, including orange and other citrus
fruits, when it comes to concentration of vitamin-C, whose deficiency causes
scurvy and which is the only remedy to it. It contains five times the vitamin-C in
oranges.
