The health benefits of a pear
-
The pear is the ugly brother of the apple, but just as healthy. The pear may even be healthier than the apple. When I was young, acquaintances of my parents even had a pear tree in their garden. I thought that was really great, especially because it was in a lawn and you could play nice. As a result, the pear has been given a preferential position of fruit with me compared to other types of fruit.

-
Constipation is generally caused by people not eating enough fiber.
-
Fiber supports the bowel function and ensures that nutrients are properly absorbed in the intestines. In addition, it ensures that the bowel movement continues to run so that you will suffer less from constipation.

Fiber supports the intestinal function and ensures that nutrients are properly absorbed in the intestines. In addition, it ensures that the bowel movements continue to run so that you will suffer less from constipation.
-
A pear contains no less than twice as much fiber as an apple. Eating a pear every day can therefore be a great help to prevent constipation.
-
A pear can also give you an incredibly full feeling because of the fibers. In addition, there are very few calories in a pear. This makes it a perfect fruit to help you lose weight.
-
The pear helps you to get rid of obesity in several ways. In the first place because you feel full while you actually do not eat that many calories. If you eat a pear weighing 100 grams, it only contains 57 calories.

-
In addition, the pear has a low glycemic index. This means that your blood sugar levels do not change abruptly because of the pear. Such a blood sugar change can make you feel extra hungry and preventing this actually means that you are less bothered by hunger.
-
This almost automatically means you eat less and it is easier to follow a healthy diet to lose weight.
-
Did I mention that there is a lot more potassium in a pear than in an apple? This is good news for anyone who wants to control blood pressure with their diet. A major cause of high blood pressure in the Western world is that we retain too much water due to the amount of sodium we eat. In the Western world it is very normal to eat meat every day and grab a bag of chips every now and then.

In the Western world it is very normal to eat meat every day and grab a bag of chips every now and then.
-
Unfortunately, because of the sodium, the salt, that is in it, this can cause us to get high blood pressure.
-
By eating less salt, this problem can already be partially solved. It is even more important to eat more potassium. The pear can therefore be a good support for lowering blood pressure.

Vitamin A is also important to lower blood pressure. Vitamin A is an important antioxidant. This can prevent veins from being damaged by oxidation. This keeps the veins flexible, which reduces blood pressure.
-
The glycemic index is extremely important if you want to prevent your blood sugar from spiking due to food. In that case, it is important to eat foods with a low index, as they have less influence on blood sugar. As a result, you need less insulin or medication as a diabetes patient and you can lower the risk of diabetes if you do not (yet) suffer from it.
-
This is partly due to the fibers in the pear. These are generally fibers that do not dissolve quickly, which means that the sugars in the pear are absorbed more slowly.
-
A pear is therefore also a good and healthy snack for people with diabetes.
-
High cholesterol is very annoying because, in combination with high levels of inflammation, it slowly clogs up your veins. This can cause all kinds of nasty cardiovascular diseases with fatal consequences.
-
So it is very important to prevent or reduce high cholesterol if you already have it.
-
The pear may play a role in lowering cholesterol. The peel of the pear is full of peptides and beta-carotene that can help lower cholesterol by having an anti-inflammatory effect in the body.
-
This reduces the ability of cholesterol to “stick” to the artery walls, preventing clogging. Research has shown that the skin of an apple is more effective in this than the skin of a pear, but the pear also helps.
-
The combination of apple and pear with peel is recommended for lowering cholesterol. Other fruits have less effect on lowering cholesterol.
-
ATTENTION !: Eat organic fruit if you eat the skin because of agricultural poisons.
-
Have you had a tired feeling and weak muscles for a long time? Then you can suffer from anemia. The pear contains a relatively large amount of copper and iron. These are important ingredients to combat anemia. These two minerals are important for the proper absorption of all nutrients and for the red blood cells to function properly with the transport of those nutrients.
-
This immediately gives you more energy and less fatigue and you may suddenly become a lot stronger.

After all these great health benefits of the pear, you naturally want to eat as much pear as possible right away. Because you want to keep the pear interesting, I have come up with a number of recipes with pear to make this fruit easier and longer to include in your daily diet.

Apple and pear are an unbeatable combination in terms of health. By eating the apple and pear mixed you do your blood vessels a great pleasure. Especially if you eat the peel on the side. That will keep your cholesterol low.
-
For the apple and pear snack you need an apple and a pear. You wash the apple and pear and cut them into pieces. You remove the core for this. The pieces of apple and pear can be put on a skewer so that they can both be taken as a snack.
-
You can make the snack even more tasty by adding a piece of cucumber or a small Amsterdam outing.
-
This healthy snack can be served at parties or just while watching a movie.

Snacking every day can eventually get boring and you want to be busy with a healthy lunch. In that case, a pear salad is a good choice. For this pear salad you will need:
-
Butter lettuce is a type of lettuce that is simply delicious and combines well with all kinds of ingredients. In addition, the butter lettuce is very healthy because of the leaf green that it contains. This stimulates the liver so that you filter toxins out of the blood better.
-
You should actually eat nuts on a daily basis, but it is sometimes difficult to keep up with them. A handful of nuts is more than enough. To maintain size, it is best to add a handful of nuts to a salad. In this case I opted for almonds. A very healthy note, partly because of the vitamin E it contains, which is good for your skin.
-
Tuna is a very good ingredient in this salad because of the proteins that provide an extra feeling of fullness and of course the omega 3. That is very good for your brain and against cholesterol.
-
Tomato is what gives this salad a Mediterranean touch and it is a very good fruit (or vegetable) for vitamin C. That is very useful for your immune system.
-
To make this salad you can buy pre-cut butter lettuce or cabbage lettuce or just a head and cut off the leaves you want to use, then you have to wash them.
-
If you just want to eat a pear quickly, you can use a pear smoothie. A smoothie is a way of turning solid food into a kind of drink so that you quickly get all kinds of healthy nutrients. All you need is a blender or smoothie maker.
-
A pear is a green fruit and therefore the perfect base for a green smoothie. The peer smoothie contains the following ingredients:
-
The spinach in this smoothie supports the action of the pear against anemia. This is because spinach is also relatively high in iron. A handy smoothie for people who don't eat meat.

To make the smoothie tasty, you can add some banana. The current bananas are nice and sweet, which makes the smoothie tastier. Moreover, banana is a good source of calcium which is good for your bones.
-
The avocado provides extra green in this green pear smoothie. In addition, the avocado is also a good vegetable source of protein, which in turn ensures a full feeling. You also get extra vitamin E from the avocado.
-
All you have to do is cut the pear into pieces and remove the core. Putting one hand of spinach in the blender or smoothie maker. Peel the banana and then add it to the pear and spinach and also spoon out the avocado and add the pulp to the mix.
-
A cup of water ensures that it becomes a good liquid and you can easily drink the smoothie after blending.
-
Finally, of course, the dessert with the pear. Did you know that in the southern countries it is very normal to eat fruit for dessert instead of yogurt or custard? You can also eat the pear very well for dessert. To make it even more Dutch, you can add pieces of pear to your yogurt with a drop of honey in it. I love that!
-
The yogurt is good for your intestines due to the probiotic effect it has and unrefined honey has an anti-inflammatory effect! A delicious dessert to end the day.
Finallyâ €!
