Pears are fruits produced and consumed around the world, growing on a tree and harvested In late summer around October. The pear tree and shrub are a species of the genus Pyrus, in the family Rosaceae, bearing the pomaceous fruit of the same name.
Research shows that pigments that give pears their colour, called anthocyanins, can lower your chances of type2 diabetes.
Further studies have revealed that pears are all between 20 and 49 on the glycemic index. That makes them low-GI food, mostly because they are high in fibre. One small pear has about 7 grams of it. Research has confirmed that 7grams is as much as 20% of the fibre you need each day. Women should get about 25grams of fibre a day, while men should shoot for 38.
To eat a pear, eat it like how you would eat an apple. Do not eat the core and seeds in the pear. If you do not like the way the skin tastes, you may need to peel that off.
A diet supplemented with pears, and associated with low consumption of meat and salt could impact positively cardiometabolic risk and urinary tract stone formation.
Pears are relatively high in sugar and carbs. They are also a good source of vitamins A, B, C, and K and possess anti-inflammatory properties. Pears offer anticancer effects, boost heart health, reduce the risk of diabetes and promote gut health.
It is best not to sleep right after eating the pear. This explains why it is recommended to eat a pear in the mornings as breakfast or in the afternoon.
Pears are good sources of dietary fibre. It is important to note that too much fibre is bad for digestive health because it interferes with the absorption of nutrients in the body.
High levels of vitamin C can give rise to complications like diarrhoea, nausea, heartburn, abdominal bloating and headache.
