As we head into cold and flu season, Joy Bauer shares home remedies to help keep you healthy.
Nothing tastes quite like a guava. Slightly tangy with a mild strawberry-like tropical sweetness, its vibrant flavor and color only hint at the nutritional benefits the guava brings to the table. Guavas, which are native to Mexico, as well as other areas in Central and South America and the Caribbean, can be used in both sweet and savory dishes alongside other tropical fruits, cheese, baked goods and even meat.
And there's research to support that: Wegman points to a 12-week study in which participants ate guava before their meals. The results suggested that the guava consumption helped participants consume fewer fatty acids and carbohydrates, resulting in better blood pressure and cholesterol numbers. That fiber content means guava can help prevent constipation as well, Wegman adds.
