News Topical, Digital Desk : Guavas are available during the winter season and are rich in vitamin C, fiber, antioxidants, and other nutrients. Therefore, eating them provides significant health benefits, but not for everyone (Who Should Not Eat Guava).
Yes, while guava is a very nutritious fruit, it can be harmful to some people. Therefore, some people should limit their consumption of guava or avoid it altogether. Let's find out who should avoid guava.
People with digestive problems
Guavas are high in fiber, which is generally good for digestion. However, people with pre-existing digestive problems, such as gas, acidity, irritable bowel syndrome, or bloating, should consume guavas in moderation. Eating large amounts can worsen these problems. Unripe guavas are especially heavy and can be difficult to digest.
Diabetes patients
Guava has a low glycemic index, but it still contains natural sugar. Diabetics should be careful when consuming guava. Consuming too much guava can increase blood sugar levels. It is recommended that diabetics consult their doctor or dietitian before consuming guava.
People with kidney problems
Guavas are high in potassium. Healthy kidneys easily remove excess potassium from the body, but for people with impaired kidney function or those on kidney dialysis, excess potassium can be harmful. In such cases, it's best to eat guavas in limited quantities or avoid them altogether.
People with dental problems
Guava is hard, and chewing raw guava can put pressure on the teeth. People with weak teeth, dental work, or gum problems should be careful when chewing guava. The seeds can also become lodged in the teeth and cause discomfort.
People with allergies
Although rare, some people may be allergic to guava. If you experience symptoms such as itching, rashes, swelling, or difficulty breathing, stop eating guava immediately and consult a doctor.
those with a cold, cough, or sore throat
Guava is considered cooling, so eating guava should be avoided if you have a cold or sore throat. This can worsen the condition.
