SuperFruit!

This month I have decided that I would like to focus on taking better care of my skin among other things.I also want to do this in a way that won't break the bank and so I will be using ingredients that are already in the kitchen.

My super fruit for this month is the guava.

According to diethealthclub.com , Guava's help with menstrual pain and stomach aches, reducing sugar, diarrhea and constipation.

What I have found to be true is that guava's actually do help reduce pain during menstruation.

I do not suffer from frequent period pain but, this winter I cramped up just before that time of the month.

Ideally,my first option was to reach for neurofen but I also wanted to test the power of nature.

Because we are all different, I cannot guarantee that this will work for you, especially if you suffer from extreme period pain.

However, the pain definitely subsided and never returned. I'm not certain if I owe this to guavas or if I was only destined to cramp for 20 minutes.

What I can credit this month's superfruit for though, is skin benefits.

Guava's are rich in vitamin C, lycopene and antioxidants that are beneficial for skin.

I have blackheads and dark marks on my face as a result of bad acne from my teenage years. I have struggled to clear them although I have made very slow progress over the years. I've started rubbing guava peels on my face and leaving the sap to dry for 5 minutes before washing it off.

Along with this ( and courtesy of my friend Nomi), I have started steaming my face with hot water and rooibos teabags two times a week before going to bed, this has also assisted in clearing blackheads.

I cannot wait to continue sharing my superfruits and develop a better skin regime.

Ladies and even gents, don't be afraid to share your fruit benefits in the comment section. And if you do decide to try to test the benefits of the guava , let us know whether it worked for you!

Love and Light!!
