Originally from tropical America, guava is a very easy to find fruit in any corner of Brazil.
Despite this, it inexplicably is not among the most popular in the country, even with its large list of health benefits.
The fruit contains plenty of water and few calories, is rich in vitamins A, E, D and has even more vitamin C than some citrus fruits.
Vitamin C is important for our immunity and assists in fighting degenerative diseases.
In addition, its fibers help balance diabetes and improve the health of the digestive system, allowing the body to absorb more nutrients and helping the intestines to function properly.
Guava does not contain much sugar, fat and calories.
It is a great help in combating infections and bleeding.
Its high concentration of potassium helps control blood pressure and its high amounts of copper, calcium, iron, phosphorus and magnesium increase blood production and quality.
The variety of red pulp is the most beneficial in reducing cholesterol and blood pressure.
Eating red guava per day can lower blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels.
It strengthens bones, teeth and heart muscle, improves healing and skin appearance, slows aging, regulates the digestive tract, nervous system and gives greater physical stamina.
Fruit fiber binds to bile acids reducing fat absorption.
Smooth to the stomach and full of nutrients, guava is a source of lycopene, flavonoids and carotenoids and phytonutrients that fight against free radicals, helping to prevent diseases such as breast, lung, ovary and prostate cancer.
That is, for those who need to supplement their food, but do not have the time or have many financial resources, fruit is a great option.
Another great virtue of guava is to be an excellent treatment against gastritis.
