6 Incredible Health Benefits Of Pears

Follow us on Twitter: @foods4health1

Pears are enjoyed around the world for their pleasant and sweet taste. They can be consumed raw, added to smoothies or used in different recipes such as oatmeal which makes them easy to add to almost any diet. Not only are pears delicious and refreshing, but they also provide numerous health benefits for those who consume them. Surprising to some, but pears are loaded with nutrition, antioxidants and can even help to reduce the risk of disease. Now, lets discuss some of the amazing health benefits of consuming pears regularly.

1. First, as mentioned previously, pears are a great source of healthy nutrition for our bodies. They contain many different vitamin, minerals and other nutrients that can promote our overall health. Specifically, pears are rich in vitamin C, copper, vitamin K, potassium, folate and manganese. As well, pears are an excellent source of dietary fibre, with just one medium pear containing about 5 grams of fibre. Pears are also rich in antioxidants, phytonutrients and anti-inflammatory compounds.

2. Pears can also help to improve digestion and relieve certain digestive ailments. This is largely attributed to the great levels of fibre found in pears, as well as their high amounts of essential nutrients. Fibre is vital for the overall health of our digestive tract and its functioning. The high levels of fibre in pears can help to reduce constipation, promote bowel movements and reduce bloating. As well, pears contain pectin which works as a mild laxative, which allows it to help move food through the digestive tract and increase nutrient uptake from the healthy foods we eat.

3. Pears are also a great source of potent antioxidant compounds that can provide numerous health benefits for our body, such as reducing inflammation, benefiting the skin and eliminating damaging free radicals. In addition to the high levels of vitamin C pears contain, they also contain significant amounts of polyphenols, flavonoids and phenolic acids. These powerful antioxidants, along with phytonutrients in pears, can help to fight disease and boost the immune system. Please note, many of these important compounds are found in the skin of the fruit.

4. They can also help to improve the overall health of our heart while reducing the risk of heart disease. The high amount of dietary fibre and pectin in pears can help to naturally lower cholesterol levels. As well, the antioxidants and phytochemicals in pears can reduce inflammation, promote the health of our arteries, eliminate free radicals that can damage our cardiovascular system and prevent oxidative stress.

5. Pears can also help those individuals looking to lose weight and promote healthy weight management. Again, this is largely attributed to the high levels of fibre found in pears. Fibre can help us to feel more full, while promoting satiety and preventing overrating. They are also helpful in that they are loaded with nutrition while also being low in calories. This is especially important for anyone who is restricting their calorie intake.

6. Lastly, eating pears regularly can also help to promote bone health due to their incredible nutritional profile. Pears contain important nutrients that are especially important for the health of our bones, such as vitamin K and boron. Boron is an important trace mineral that not only helps with growth and overall health of the body, but can also improve the body’s ability to absorb magnesium and calcium, two vital minerals for overall bone health. Also, vitamin K can help to prevent bone-related disorders while also preventing bone breakdown and increasing bone mineral density.

Pear Banana Cinnamon Topper
(A Recipe)
By: Gordon LeRoy Wade, Junior
I say "You can use any fruit that you love, in any combination, and using the below ingredients."
Here is a simple pear, banana, concoction that will entice even the most hard to please.
Ingredients:
2 Large Pears, ripe, or firm, or use a can of pears. Save the juice for the filling.
4 Large Bananas, not quite overly ripe.
1/2 stick of Unsalted Butter. (aka sweet butter.)
2 Tablespoons of Margerine, Any brand.
3/4 to 1 cup of Light Brown Sugar. *You may need to watch this amount, due to altitude differences.
Less than 1/8 teaspoon of Ground Cinnamon.
Melt the butter gently on a medium low, stove top type oven, stirring.
Add the brown sugar, stirring.
Add the cinnamon, stirring.
Add the diced pears, and the mashed bananas to the slightly bubbling mixture. Stir.
When stirred well, and bubbly, have a taste. So good...
It should resemble hot apple pie filling. But, this is much better!
Add the hot mixture to the top of cinnamon rolls, pancakes, french toast, and excetera, with crushed walnuts, and whipped cream. "Cool Whip" is good.
Note: There is no need for syrup, or extra butter. It's ALL in there.
I cooled this mixture, placed it in freezer ziplock baggies, and I use a portion from the baggies, heated in the microwave whenever I want a great topping.
However, don't ever reheat anything in a baggie! Please use a microwave safe bowl, with a microwave safe saucer as a lid. Reheat at 1 & 1/2 minute intervals.
Enjoy!
