9. Guava

Guava is packed full of fiber and contains at least twice as much vitamin C as an orange. It also contains beta-carotene and an antioxidant called lycopene that gives red-colored fruits their color. Lycopene is known to have anti-inflammatory effects and the ability to lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, benefiting heart health.
