Benefits of Fruit

Guavas One cup of guava has nearly five times as much skin-healing vitamin C (a key ingredient in collagen production) as a medium orange (377 mg versus 83 mg)—more than five times your recommended daily intake. Women who eat a lot of vitamin-C-packed foods have fewer wrinkles than women who don’t eat many, according to a recent study that tracked the diets of more than 4,000 women aged 40 to 74. You’ll also get bacteria-busting power. Guava can protect against foodborne pathogens such as listeria and staph, according to research by microbiologists in Bangladesh. And a study by Thai scientists and the US Department of Agriculture found that guava has as much antioxidant activity as some well-known superfoods, such as blueberries and broccoli.
