How to consume Guava Safely if You Have Diabetes
While guava offers many benefits, it’s important to eat it correctly and in moderation:
- Stick to ½ to 1 small guava per day (about 150–200 grams).
- Avoid eating it on an empty stomach, as it may lower bl00d sugar too quickly.
- Skip the salt or chili powder – these popular pairings can increase sodium levels and affect blood pressure.
- Eat with the peel if possible, as the skin contains additional antioxidants and fiber. Just make sure to wash it thoroughly or choose organic guavas.
- Consult your doctor or dietitian before adding guava to your daily diet, especially if you’re on medication for blood sugar control.
