One guava fruit offers 125 mg of vitamin C, accounting for 138% of the daily value. This tropical fruit is not only a vitamin C powerhouse but also a rich source of the antioxidant lycopene. A study in 2016 demonstrated that consuming 400 g of guava daily could significantly decrease blood pressure and cholesterol levels, highlighting guava’s cardiovascular benefits. [3]

These peppers are particularly beneficial for eye health, helping to reduce the risk of cataract progression. A study from 2016 found a strong association between high vitamin C intake and a reduced risk of cataract progression, showcasing the importance of incorporating yellow peppers into your diet. [4]
