5 Reasons to Eat Guava

1. Guava has a higher concentration of lycopene—an antioxidant that fights prostate cancer—than any other plant food, including tomatoes and watermelon.

2. For diabetics, eating guava without its skin can reduce the sugar absorption in your blood, according to an I-Shou University study.

3. Since guava is rich in dietary fiber, it’s easy on your tummy, helps ease constipation (a common diabetic complaint) and can even lower the chance of developing type two diabetes.

4. Guava also improves circulation, which can boost brain function. The tropical fruit regulates blood pressure because of high potassium content (potassium is said to reverse sodium’s impact on the body).

5. Guava is rich in the antioxidant Vitamin C (280 percent of your recommended daily value in just one!), which can prevent cell damage and lower your cancer risk. Reasons to Eat Guava
