The result can be relief from the common cold.
Dayumanavan Balaswamy, a former professor of biochemistry at the TamilNadu Agricultural University in Coimbatore, clarified the benefits of Guava. “Jama contains calcium, potassium, iron, folic acid, vitamin-A, vitamin-C, fiber, and vitamin-B. Fresh guava nuts, in particular, contain 6 times more vitamin-C than oranges. 20 times more than bananas. These are very good for the body. It is good to eat Guava in the winter. The iron and vitamin-C in Guava protect against colds and viral infections, he said.
More health benefits of guava work as a good solution:

For people suffering from heart problems, it is better to add sugar to the sliced Guava pieces, boil them finely and take them twice a day. This improves heart function. However, patients with diabetes should not do this.
