Guava is a natural laxative as it is high in fibre and can help you if you’re having digestive problems like constipation. This unusual concoction is a powerhouse of vitamin C and fibre. Have it with your afternoon snack to complement a chat-pata dish. Remember to use fully ripened guavas as they taste the best and also you need to add less sugar to this drink thus making it more healthy.
