Is your weight off in winter? ! A cup of guava for breakfast can cleanse the intestines and improve your skin

If you want to maintain your skin's moisture and elasticity, I believe that many people's first instinct is to supplement with vitamin C. Therefore, they drink a large bottle of lemon juice every day regardless of whether it is hot or cold. However, did you know that "guava" which can be found everywhere in Taiwan is the authentic king of vitamin C!

Vitamin C promotes collagen growth, resists UV rays and resists oxidation

Every 100 grams of guava contains 126.2 mg of vitamin C, which is almost four times that of lemon (lemon contains 34 mg of vitamin C per 100 mg) and 40 times that of apple. Vitamin C plays an important auxiliary role in promoting the synthesis of collagen, which can maintain skin elasticity and enhance resistance to external stimuli such as infection and injury. In addition, the ultraviolet radiation received every day will also increase the free radical content of the skin, thereby accelerating skin oxidation and aging.

Guava is a good helper for weight loss, promoting gastrointestinal motility and fatty acid metabolism

The vitamin C in guava not only keeps the skin young and moisturized, but also participates in the synthesis of carnitine in the liver and kidneys. Carnitine is essential for transporting fatty acids into mitochondria to produce energy. In addition, studies have shown that people with sufficient vitamin C levels in their bodies will burn 30% more fat during exercise than those with insufficient vitamin C levels.

In addition, guava and guava seeds are rich in dietary fiber, which can promote gastrointestinal motility, help fecal excretion, reduce lipid absorption and lower blood cholesterol.

【Nutritionist’s Tips】

1. Guava and guava seeds are high in dietary fiber and can easily absorb water in the stomach and intestines. If you eat too much and don’t drink enough water, it can easily cause constipation. Therefore, when eating guava, remember to drink at least 30 ml of water (weight per person) every day!

2. Most commercially available lactic acid beverages contain a large amount of refined sugar. Excessive intake of refined sugar can easily cause obesity and promote inflammation in the body. Therefore, remember to read the nutrition label carefully before purchasing, and try to choose products with low sugar content, which is healthier.
