Guava is effective in these problems
Controls blood pressure: Guava is rich in antioxidants, especially polyphenols, which help in reducing blood pressure. It also contains potassium, which is a mineral that reduces sodium through urine and also helps control blood pressure.
Controls cholesterol: Guava is rich in soluble fibers like Vitamin C. Soluble fibers help flush out cholesterol and reduce its levels in the blood. Moreover, because guava contains antioxidants, it maintains good levels of HDL cholesterol.
Guava provides relief from cough and cold: People suffering from cold and cough should consume guava. Especially those who are unable to cough, feed them guava seeds and on top of that, the patient should drink fresh water by closing his nose. The lingering cold will go away within two-three days. If you have a dry cough and phlegm does not come out, breaking a fresh guava and chewing it in the morning is beneficial.
Beneficial in diabetes: Guava is rich in fiber which helps in controlling blood sugar. The leaves of this fruit are rich in polyphenols and triterpenes, compounds that help manage glycogen metabolism.
Provides relief from toothache: Chewing guava leaves or gargling with the decoction of leaves mixed with alum provides relief from toothache. Make a decoction by boiling guava leaves in water. By adding salt to this decoction, keeping it in the mouth for 4-5 minutes and gargling with it, teeth remain healthy.
Beneficial for the skin: Eating pink or red guava is very good for the skin because it is rich in lycopene, which helps in protecting the skin from damage caused by the ultraviolet rays of the sun.
