Good afternoon, all Hive friends. How are you all? Are you all well? I hope you are all well. Today I will post about Jamaican guava fruit and its benefits.
Jamaican guava is a tropical fruit originating from Southeast Asia, including Indonesia. This fruit has thin red skin with thick and dense white flesh, hive friends. The taste varies, from sweet to sour, and is often consumed fresh or processed into rujak, pickles, or refreshing drinks.
In addition to its refreshing taste, Jamaican guava is also rich in nutrients and has various health benefits. Here are some of the main benefits of Jamaican guava, hive friends:
Maintaining Eye Health: The beta-carotene content in Jamaican guava is converted into vitamin A in the body, which is important for eye health and preventing vision disorders.
Increasing Body Immunity: Rich in vitamin C, Jamaican guava helps strengthen the immune system, fight infections, and increase iron absorption.
Smooth Digestion: The high fiber content in Jamaican guava supports healthy digestion, prevents constipation, and maintains the balance of intestinal microbiota.
Preventing Dehydration: With a water content of up to 87%, Jamaican guava helps meet the body's fluid needs, especially during hot weather or physical activity.
Lose Weight: Low in calories and high in fiber, Jamaican guava makes you feel full longer, helps control appetite, and supports weight loss programs.
Strengthen Bones and Teeth: The mineral content such as calcium and phosphorus in Jamaican guava is important for healthy bones and teeth, prevents osteoporosis, and maintains bone density.
