 Tips for Maximum Benefit
Peel vs. No Peel: Some studies suggest eating guava without the peel may be more effective for lowering blood sugar, as the peel can sometimes contain more concentrated natural sugars.
Don’t Juice It: Eat the whole fruit. Juicing removes the fiber, which is what actually helps prevent blood sugar spikes.
For Hair: While eating guava helps from the inside, many people use Guava Leaf Water as a topical rinse. Boil guava leaves in water, let it cool, and massage it into your scalp to utilize its B-vitamins and antioxidants
