Guava for Psoriasis

I developed Psoriasis at the age of 21 and no one in my family had any history of psoriasis or any other serious skin disorder.Hence, I am a firm believer that my psoriasis management is more or less related to my food habits and life style.

Smooth elimination of body toxins on daily basis is one of the top most priority for me on this journey of holistic healing of psoriasis.

I believe that if:

• I would eat good nutritious food omitting all allergic foods
• And I digest my food properly adopting healthy life style habits (like regular physical work out,avoiding over eating or skipping meals and following a proper time schedule for all your meals)
• And finally eliminate the residual body toxins (toxins resulting from my meals) in a smooth fashion daily 

Then, I would be giving positive vibes to my body as a whole and my psoriasis symptoms would reduce automatically.

For a person like me having a history of chronic constipation,if a food can help me enjoying smoother bowel movements with a feeling of emptiness(complete elimination of stool) then definitely that food is a SUPER FOOD for me.Here I am talking about GUAVA.

What is GUAVA

Guava is a greenish yellow coloured tropical fruit. Unfortunately Guava is highly underestimated and very seldom people would count it in the elite group of nutritious fruits like apple,pineapple,grapes,banana etc.

But for me, Guava is one of the best fruit as far as psoriasis management is concerned.

Benefits of Guava for Psoriasis healing

Obviously Guava has a number of health benefits because it is low in fat and high in vitamins,minerals and antioxidants.

In this post, we would try to concentrate our focus on benefits of Guava for Psoriasis healing.

• Guava is one of the best fruit when it comes to dietary fiber content (about 5.40 grams of dietary fiber per 100 grams of fruit).Owing to this rich content of dietary fiber,Guava is a NATURAL LAXATIVE.Guava has helped me wonderfully in colon cleansing by making sure that I have smooth bowel movements with maximum possible elimination of stool.Apart from healing my psoriasis on physical level,this highly effective natural detoxification process would make me feel highly energetic and enthusiastic and my attitude towards my life as a whole (including Psoriasis) would be highly positive.Hence, stress management is an additional benefit for me.

One to two pounds of ripe guava (about half to one kilograms) has always made sure that I have about 2 smooth bowel movements a day.It would hardly take 5 minutes per toilet sitting and I would experience smooth easy elimination of stool without any need to exert any body force.

• Obesity makes a person susceptible to Psoriasis and also a trigger for psoriasis.If you are looking for weight management(reduction), then Guava is a definite pick for you.Guava is pretty low in fat and calories and highly enriched with vitamins,minerals and other nutrients.Sugar content is also less as compared to other fruits like apple,grapes and other fruits.All this makes Guava a super healthy option for those who wants to reduce(manage) their weight without compromising on taste and nutritional value.
• Guava is about 81% water.Hence, regular intake of guava will keep your skin hydrated and make sure toxins are discharged consistently.
• Guava has powerful anti-cancer properties. Guava contains higher amount of Lycopene, an anti oxidant.Along with that,Guava contains almost four times more vitamin C than orange.Vitamin C is an immunity booster.Collective impact of both these nutrients would improve your body immunity and help fight those random psoriasis attacks/triggers that might be caused due to weather change or diet change or increase in stress level.
• Guava has powerful anti-aging properties.Guava is a rich source of Vitamin A,B complex and C.Also it is enriched with high amount of minerals like potassium (more than banana),magnesium and manganese.All these nutrients prevents skin damage and make your skin healthy and glowing.

In short, Guava is a welcome addition to your list of healthy super foods because it helps tremendously well in natural body detoxification and improves your body immunity.

As per my understanding, it is always better to eat raw guava fruit that taking guava fruit juice because juice would not provide you laxative benefits of this wonderful fruit.
