अमरुद खाने के फायदे

May Help With Blood Sugar Control Guava leaf has been used in traditional folk medicine for years, but recent research has highlighted its role in blood sugar control. Animal studies have found that guava leaf extract strongly influences insulin sensitivity, thereby improving fasting plasma glucose and insulin resistance.2 The hypoglycemic effects of guava leaves have been well-documented over the years, and a 2016 study found that eating guava fruit without the peel is also effective in lowering blood sugar levels. The pectin or dietary fiber in guava can delay the intestinal absorption of glucose and improve glucose tolerance.3 While guava fruit cannot replace a medical prescription, it may be a lifestyle choice that can support routine diabetes care. May Support Cardiovascular Health For years, guava leaf extract seemed to have anti-hypertensive properties, but its mechanisms were not fully understood. However, a recent animal study discovered that the guava's effects on blood pressure were likely related to its components' involvement with the sympathetic nervous system. Scientists highlight the need for more research with human subjects regarding guava fruit and its potential in heart health but report that the fruit may be a promising adjuvant in treating hypertension.4 The same study found that guava pulp may positively affect blood lipid levels. Researchers saw a significant drop in triglycerides, total cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol after subjects received guava supplementation for six weeks.3 Since elevated cholesterol and triglycerides can work against heart health, including guava in a well-balanced diet may support heart health. May Support a Healthy Immune System Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that plays a role in many enzymatic reactions and cellular functions, including those involved in immune function. Since the body can't produce vitamin C, it must be obtained through the diet. Oranges are often praised for their vitamin C content, but guavas contain roughly five times the amount in the same serving size.56 Research has shown that guava is an excellent source of vitamin C—one guava without refuse provides 125 milligrams (mg) of vitamin C, or 139% of your Daily Value (DV).67
