PEAR
Pears offer a good source of vitamin C, folate, and dietary fiber. One
medium-sized Pear contains less than 100 calories. Most of the vitamin C in
Pears is in the skin, so they should be eaten unpeeled. Providing some iron
and potassium, Pears contain pectin, a soluble fiber that helps control
cholesterol levels, and cellulose, an insoluble fiber that promotes normal
bowel function.
Pear are packed not only with flavor, but fiber.
Protection from Free Radicals
Our food ranking system also qualified pears as a good source of vitamin C
and copper. Both of these nutrients can be thought of as antioxidant
nutrients that help protect cells in the body from oxygen-related damage due
to free radicals. Vitamin C functions as an antioxidant in all water-soluble
areas of the body, and in addition to its antioxidant activity, is critical
for good immune function.
Vitamin C stimulates white cells to fight infection, directly kills many
bacteria and viruses, and regenerates Vitamin E (an antioxidant that
protects fat-soluble areas of the body) after it has been inactivated by
disarming free radicals. Copper helps protect the body from free radical
damage as a necessary component of superoxide dismutase (SOD), a
copper-dependent enzyme that eliminates superoxide radicals. Superoxide
radicals are a type of free radical generated during normal metabolism, as
well as when white blood cells attack invading bacteria and viruses. If not
eliminated quickly, superoxide radicals damage cell membranes. Treat your
tastebuds to a delectable, juicy pear, and you'll be treating your body to
8.9% of the daily value for vitamin C along with 7.6% of the daily value for
copper.
Pears Promote Cardiovascular and Colon Health
Pear's fiber does a lot more than help prevent constipation and ensure
regularity. Fiber has been shown in a number of studies to lower high
cholesterol levels, good news to people at risk for atherosclerosis or
diabetic heart disease. Fiber in the colon binds to bile salts and carries
them out of the body. Since bile salts are made from cholesterol, the body
must break down more cholesterol to make more bile, a substance which is
also necessary for digestion. The end result is a lowering of cholesterol
levels. Fiber also binds to cancer-causing chemicals in the colon,
preventing them from damaging colon cells. This may be one reason why diets
high in fiber-rich foods, such as pears, are associated with a reduced risk
of colon cancer. Additionally, the fact that low dietary intake of copper
seems to also associated with risk factors for colon cancer (increased fecal
free radical production and fecal water alkaline phosphatase activity)
serves as yet another reason in support of why this delicious fruit may be
very beneficial for colonic health.
A Hypo-Allergenic Fruit
Although not well-documented in scientific research, pears are often
recommended by healthcare practitioners as a hypoallergenic fruit that is
less likely to produce an adverse response than other fruits. Particularly
in the introduction of first fruits to infants, pear is often recommended as
a safe way to start. Our food ranking system also determined pears to
provide small amounts of the nutrients vitamin B2, vitamin E and potassium.
