The chemical composition of lycopene, a carotenoid in guava that has anticancer activities, is highly reactive toward oxygen free radicals, according to an article in the October 2008 issue of "Cancer Letters." The researchers found that lycopene isolated from guava reduces cancer risk through its antioxidant activities and by inducing apoptosis, or genetically programmed cell death, in cancer cells. The study concluded, however, that further clinical studies are necessary to fully understand lycopene's anticancer effects. ENZYMATIC ACTIVITIES An enzyme, known as NFkappaB, regulates the expression of several genes in an apoptotic pathway, which, in turn, regulates, cell proliferation of cellular death. A study in the September 2007 issue of the "Journal of Ethnopharmacology" tested the anti-inflammatory effects of guava extract through its ability to regulate the concentration of NFkappaB using an experimental breast cancer cell line. The researchers found that an extract of guava contining 55 mcg per mL inhibited the growth breast cancer cells and their ability to metastasize, or spread, to other parts of the body.

THE BENEFITS OF GUAVA FOR THE SKIN Aug 18, 2011 | By Tara Carson
Photo Credit Stockbyte/Stockbyte/Getty Images The skin is the largest organ in the human body and its condition speaks volumes about your health. Rashes, acne, eczema, psoriasis, and oily, dry and aged skin, may reflect stress, lack of exercise or a poor diet. Improving your skin's health is possible in a variety of ways, including adding more skinsupportive nutrients in your diet. Guava is a tropical fruit that tastes like a cross between a strawberry and a pear, and it provides several nutrients that support skin maintenance. Including it in your diet may help you make progress toward the beautiful complexion you want that is more than just skin deep. VITAMIN K Treat skin discoloration, such as dark circles, spider veins, rosacea, acne irritation and overall splotchiness, with vitamin K.

VITAMIN C The amount of vitamin C in a guava is more than twice the 60 mg FDA daily value, which is good news for skin healing because it contributes to generation of collagen, the substance that gives skin its firmness. Include more vitamin C-rich foods like guava in your diet to improve the tautness of your skin and reduce the impact of aging.

The damaging effect of toxins includes premature aging, because they damage DNA in charge of growth and development. WATER A substance that provides health benefits, including hydrated skin, is water.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN VITAMIN C & GUAVA Jul 14, 2011 | By Melodie Anne Coffman
Photo Credit Medioimages/Photodisc/Photodisc/Getty Images Guavas are a tropical fruit often underrated for their nutritional value. During growth, guavas develop a rich vitamin C concentration. In fact, a serving of guava can provide as much as 250 percent of your recommended daily allowance, or RDA, for vitamin C. Adding guava slices to your breakfast or enjoying guava as a dessert after dinner, helps provide all of the essential vitamin C you need for the day. BENEFITS OF VITAMIN C Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, which means your body doesn't store it and you must consume vitamin-C rich foods every day. Most commonly, vitamin C is known for its role in boosting your immune system by warding off foreign bacteria. Vitamin C acts like an antioxidant, fighting off free radicals that can permanently damage cells throughout your body. Additionally, this important vitamin helps make collagen, a structural part of veins, connective tissues, skin and more. Solution To Hair Loss Natural, Affordable and Permanent Hair Transplants. Manila. Save 20%. www.nuhart.com Sponsored Links VITAMIN C AND GUAVA When you think of vitamin C, the first thing that comes to mind may be citrus fruits, such as oranges or grapefruit, which are readily available everywhere you shop. You may need to shop around to find guavas, which provide more vitamin C than citrus fruits or many other types of produce. According to the Office of Dietary Supplements, men need 90 mg of vitamin C daily, and women require 75 mg. A 1/2-cup or 4-ounce serving of guava provides approximately 188 mg of vitamin C, whereas the same serving of fresh orange has less than 50 mg. Since guavas have such a high vitamin C content, including them in your diet several times per week may help keep you healthy by invigorating your immune system. HANDLING OF GUAVA Vitamin C is relatively stable and withstands harsh handling procedures. Research published in the "Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry" in 2010 evaluated guava and the vitamin C content during storage, cleaning and preparation in restaurants. According to researchers, vitamin C content under usual storage conditions and handling procedures remains the same. Researchers noted only minimal, insignificant changes in vitamin C content by the time prepared guava reached restaurant customers. Since vitamin C in guava is very stable, you don't have to worry about losing it when you slice and dice the fruit. WAYS TO ENJOY GUAVA You can enjoy guava in a variety of ways, but make sure it is soft to the touch before consuming. The rind and seeds are also edible, but usually discarded before eating. While eating guava fresh in the summer is a refreshing treat, you can also cook it, which is common in Latin American cuisines. Guava nectar or puree is readily available at
your local grocery store, making a delicious addition to sauces, smoothies or salad dressings. Dried guava has minimal vitamin C content, since most of the water-soluble vitamins dissipate during water removal.

Dr. Bowden lists guava as one of the most nutritious foods that you can eat because it has very high amounts of lycopene. Guava has more lycopene than any other fruit or vegetable at a similar serving size.

Giving birth to my second baby was a more painful ordeal than my first. For some reason it took me longer to get back on my feet, the post operative pain as worse ( I delivered via C-section) and contractions while breast feeding hurt more. I was also having problems with the way my scar was healing. For some reason, a part of it stayed wetnot infected, but it never dried up. For weeks I tried the doctors order of Betadine and Bactroban on the wound. Every time it would almost form a scab, the wet part would stick to the gauze or my underwear and pull it off again.
I was complaining about my problem to a friend when she mentioned she had the same problem. Her yaya had told her to boil guava leaves and use the water as a final rinse after bathing. She claimed that within 3 days, it dried up. I thought Id give it a try. When I mentioned this to my helpers at home, they looked at me and gave me a knowing smile. My cook said that she had used that remedy when giving birth to all 4 of her children. Even my driver knew of the remedy, offering to bring me guava leaves the next day from the tree in his house. I texted my doctor to ask her if it was okay to try this. To my surprise she said that there is actual medical evidence to prove that this remedy works because of the anti bacterial properties of guava leaves.
My lovely driver brought the leaves the next day as promised. Not just any leaves would work, they have to be newly sprouted leaves, closest to the fruit. I had them boiled and used the murky brown water it became as my final wash. For extra good measure, my cook suggested placing the leaf on the wound directly for a few minutes. The next day I had forgotten about the guava wash. But as I was dressing up I noticed the wound had dried up. I couldnt believe it. The depressed part of my scar, covered in weird white wet stuff had dried up. I showed it to my husband and he couldnt believe it either. I saw my doctor the next day and showed it to her, she allowed me to continue using the guava leaf as a final rinse until the wound had dried up. In 5 days proper scabs and formed and after two weeks, the scabs fell off revealing the neat pink scar.
I found out from a tita of mine that my grandfather, who was her gynecologist had told her to use guava leaves as a rinse when she had her babies in the 60s. I couldnt believe that that advise had come from him, as he was known to be forward thinking in the field of ob-gyne in the Philippines. There is a very good reason traditional remedies are still around- they really do work. Of course before trying this remedy, its best to consult your doctor. Dont discount the wonders of age old remedies.
