Guava is a delicious and highly nutritious fruit enjoyed by many. It is particularly beneficial for those with digestive issues, as it is rich in vitamin C and other essential nutrients. However, despite its many health benefits, guava may not be suitable for everyone. Dr Aamir Anwar, a homeopath from Jehanabad, told Local 18 who should avoid consuming this fruit.
Rich Source of Protein
Dr Aamir Anwar shares that guava is highly beneficial according to Ayurveda. Consuming it boosts immunity and helps with various health conditions.
It is effective in both weight gain and weight loss due to its high protein content. It is also beneficial for those suffering from constipation when consumed regularly.
Dr Aamir Anwar advises against eating guava raw. Instead, it is best consumed with a sprinkle of salt or after being roasted over fire.
Who Should Avoid?
Elderly individuals should avoid guava as it has a cooling effect on the body, increasing the risk of colds and coughs. Those suffering from asthma, allergies, a runny nose, or watery eyes should also avoid guava.
Pregnant and lactating women should also avoid guava. It is ideal to eat guava before noon but never on an empty stomach. Diabetic patients should be cautious, as guava may weaken the immune system and increase susceptibility to colds. However, it can be highly beneficial for liver patients.
