The pear is one of the tastiest fruits you can find, but more importantly – it is packed to the brim with health benefits. This fruit was domesticated over 3,000 years ago, though some speculate that the pear and human history have been intertwined since the Stone Age.
Throughout history, pears were among the most celebrated kinds of fruit. In Homer’s Odyssey, it is said that “the pear is the gift of the gods”, while in the court of French King Louis XIV, the pear was considered to be a luxurious delicacy. Nowadays, one can find this marvelous fruit in stores year-round, and despite that, it still remains a gift from the heavens for many reasons.
1. Lowers high blood pressure – Pears are rich in antioxidants and anti carcinogens, which help to reduce blood pressure.
2. Cancer prevention – High levels of vitamin C and copper protect your cells from free radicals. Additionally, the pear’s skin contains glutathione – a powerful anti-carcinogen.
3. Reduces cholesterol levels – Thanks to a high concentration of soluble dietary fibers, pears are able to reduce LDL levels. Most of the fiber is found in the pear’s skin.
4. Colon health – Aside from cholesterol, dietary fibers also help regulate your colon and keep its lining healthy.
5. Natural cure for constipation – Pear juice is a natural remedy for constipation.
6. Lower fevers – Pears have fever-reducing properties, especially when juiced.
