 Guavas are

bursting with healthy vitamins and minerals and can be used to treat many serious ailments. You can recognize guavas by their yellow, green or maroon skins and creamy white or pink pulp.

1. Weight loss and gain Guava is a winning fruit for its many great benefits. If you’re trying to lose weight, guavas are not a fruit you need to give up. In fact, this snack-sized fruit can satisfy your appetite while adding few calories, low amounts of carbohydrates and no cholesterol to your diet. Also, compared to other fruit,it adds a low dose of sugar. Guavas also offer a great source of vitamins, proteins, roughage, fibers and minerals. For lean people trying to gain weight, this fruit is also beneficial as it promotes the healthy absorption of nutrients and its substantial nutrients regulate one’s metabolism. 2. Blood pressure and Diabetes Guavas are hypoglycemic and rich in fiber, which help reduce blood pressure. Dietary fibers maintain the blood’s fluidity and prevent it from thickening, which can worsen blood pressure. Foods lacking in fiber (for example refined flour) increase blood pressure because they convert to sugar more quickly. This can help fight or even prevent diabetes. The fiber regulates the sugar being absorbed by the body and the risk of both high spikes and drops in the body’s insulin and glucose levels is reduced. 3. Diarrhea, dysentery, and gastroenteritis The abundant astringent (substances that contract body tissue) makeup of raw guava and guava leaves helps loosen the bowels and reduce the symptoms of diarrhea and gastroenteritis. Being highly alkaline, the guavas act as a disinfectant, removing excess mucus from the intestines and inhibiting microbial growth. For these reasons, guavas can also be used to treat dysentery. The guavas’ plentiful supply of vitamin C, carotenoids and potassium can also boost your digestive system. 4. Thyroid health A good substance for regulating the thyroid’s metabolism is copper, which guavas have plenty of. The thyroid glands regulate important hormones and organ system functions, which helps maintain a healthy balance in your body. 5. Healthy brains Also present in guavas are high amounts of vitamins B3 and B6. These both have benefits for the health of your brain. B3, which is also called niacin, is known to help increase blood flow and stimulate cognitive function, while B6 helps preserve normal nerve function. 6. Scurvy Guava is your best source for vitamin C. In fact, it has four times the amount of Vitamin C found in oranges, which are regarded as the go-to food for this vitamin. The concentration of vitamin C can prevent scurvy, a disease caused by a deficiency of this vitamin. 7. Constipation The seeds of guavas, either ingested whole or chewed, are excellent laxatives. In addition to the fruits' substantial amount of dietary fiber, guavas are advantageous for treating constipation. These two sources cleanse your intestines and excretory system and help your body retain water, helping you achieve healthy bowel movements. Frequently snacking on guavas, then, can be beneficial for proper digestion.

8. Colds and coughs Drinking the juice of guavas and fresh guava fruit helps in fighting colds and coughs. The astringent quality can lessen mucus, disinfect the respiratory tract, throat, and lungs and reduce microbial activity. The substantial amounts of iron and vitamin C in guavas also help treat viral infections. It’s advised to avoid eating overly ripe guavas when you have a cold or cough, as they can actually aggravate them.

9. Eyesight The considerable quantities of vitamin A in guavas are extremely beneficial for the health of your vision. This helps slow down macular degeneration, the growth of cataracts and can even improve one’s eyesight deterioration once it has begun.

10. Cancer prevention Guava is also valuable in your diet as a preventative measure against cancerous growths and metastasis. The high levels of an antioxidant called lycopene has been shown to reduce the risk of prostate cancer and inhibit the growth of breast cancer cells. Guava leaf oil is another anti-proliferative extract from the guava plant that has proven effective in reducing cancer growth. 11. Skincare Guavas are also fantastic at improving skin texture and keeping your skin looking fresh. Guavas are full of astringents, particularly in fresh fruit and the leaves of the plant. If you rinse your skin with a guava decoction, the fruit can tone and tighten areas of loose skin. Eating the fruit also provides a rich source of vitamins A, B, C, as well as potassium, which are excellent antioxidants and detoxifiers. They can keep your skin glowing, prevent premature aging and wrinkles, and can speed up the healing process of wounds.

The Many Advantages of Using Salt

There are more than 14,000 ways to use salt, and some are still in use today. Before you are some of the best advice for efficient use of salt to resolve a number of different problems. 

Important! If you are sensitive to salt, you must consult a doctor about the proper way of using it.

* There is a great Russian folk medicine: In case of food poisoning - drink vodka with salt. If you don't drink alcohol - drink a few glasses of water well salted, and then try to vomit them out. (This is NOT an alternative to medical treatment!)

* In case of a cold - Drink a bit of vodka with salt.

* If your blood pressure is down, quickly drinks a very salty glass of water.

* A good way to increase the amount of stomach acids for digestion: 5-30 minutes after eating, put 1-2 grams of sea or cooking salt on the edge of your tongue. After the salt melts, swallow the salty saliva in your mouth. Such a small amount of salt won't harm you but will cause an extra release of stomach acids.

* Salt is a great disinfectant - If you clean wounds with salt water soaked materials, they won't become inflamed.

* Granulomas of the tooth will be gone after 2 weeks of being cleaned with salt water.

 

* For tooth ache - Wash your mouth with salt water after every meal and before going to sleep.

* With pneumonia and strong coughing, place a washcloth soaked in salt water on the back of the person, in the area of the infection.

* Adenomas can be treated by holding down a cotton washcloth folded to four layers and soaked in salt water for 2 weeks time.

* Salt helps treat acne and boils. Use a little salt to put on a bandage and put it on the area for an hour. You can repeat the process a few times a day.

* When you have bruises, put compresses of salt and vinegar on them. They are also useful for treating headaches.

* To treat varicose veins - Use a compress of salt water on the problematic vein, and on that an elastic bandage. If you do this regularly, morning and evening, the veins will slowly return to normal.

* To treat foot fungus - Soak your feet for 5-10 minutes in a mixture of 2 table spoons of salt for every 0.5 liter of hot water. You can add some ground garlic to the mix. Repeat this until fully healed.

* After getting stung by a bee - Smear a bit of wet salt on the stung area, it will calm down the pain and the swelling.

* If you want smooth, healthy skin - Before showering, rub your body with a salt stone. In addition to a cosmetic treatment, you will also gain a medical benefit while ions of salt penetrate the skin and energize the body.

* A salt massage also helps to treat low blood pressure, chronic digestive problems, diabetes, and regular colds. That said there are also NEGATIVE side effects: Open wounds on the skin, rash or Eczema are possible.
