tropical llena de nutrientes y vitaminas y sus hojas contienen una gran
cantidad de fitoquímicos que le dan propiedades “anticancerígenas,
antidiabéticas, antioxidantes, antidiarreicas, antimicrobianas, hipolipemiantes
y hepatoprotectoras”, indica un estudio publicado por el Centro Nacional para

anticancerígenos y antitumoral: las hojas de la guayaba “exhiben un potente
efecto inhibidor contra líneas celulares cancerosas” para el cáncer de mama,
cáncer de cuello uterino, cáncer de nasofaringe, cáncer de próstata, y
colorrectal, cita NCBI. Por ser rica en vitamina E, flavonoides (apigenina) y
β-cariofileno, las hojas de guayaba demostraron una fuerte actividad
antiproliferativa contra las líneas celulares de carcinoma de colon humano.Actividad
antidiabética: los estratos de la hoja de guayaba son usados en la etnomedicina
para el tratamiento de la diabetes, esto por el potencial antidiabético de los
flavonoides y polisacáridos. Detalla el NCBI que en experimentos en ratones
encontraron que los extractos de la hoja de guayaba contienen compuestos
bioactivos que pueden ser eficaces para reducir el riesgo de diabetes.Poder antioxidante: por
contener compuestos fenólicos, como ácido gálico, pirocatecol, taxifolina,
ácido elágico, ácido ferúlico y varios otros, se le atribuyen propiedades
antioxidantes, que ayuda minimizar los efectos nocivos de los radicales
libres,según NCBI. Los aceites esenciales extraídos de la hoja de guayaba
funcionan como antioxidantes moderados, con capacidad de eliminar los radicales
libres.<span lang="ES-CO" style="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">¿Cómo preparar el té de
