Drinking guava juice could help improve anaemia
A systematic review published in BMJ Nutrition Prevention & Health suggests that consuming guava juice can significantly improve haemoglobin levels in women and teenage girls. The study indicates that combining guava juice with iron supplements is more effective than iron supplementation alone in combating anaemia.
Why it matters
This finding offers a low-cost, accessible dietary intervention to address iron deficiency anaemia, a major public health concern in developing nations.
Regular guava juice consumption may prove a readily accessible and affordable addition to help lower the risk of anaemia in women in low- and middle-income countries.
