In a strange way, we forget a simple idea - the most beneficial for health are those fruits and vegetables that are local, do not require complex and long transportation. Pears are a striking representative of such fruits for most of Russia.
A juicy pear, with a delicate sweet pulp and an amazing aroma, is not only an excellent delicacy, but also brings great benefits to the human body. It contains a large amount of vitamins and microelements, therefore, doctors have long recommended fresh, dried or canned pears to alleviate the condition in many diseases.
Pears contain a large amount of vitamins that take care of our immunity, the state of the nervous system, other organs and systems, youth and good mood. Pears contain a lot of potassium, iron, zinc. Pectin, sugars, fruit acids, carotene give us energy and save our eyesight.
Interestingly, in folk medicine, you can find quite useful advice on the use of pears. For example, boiled, baked, and dried pears have been recommended as an antitussive agent and also as a cough remedy. Pear broth quenches thirst well, has a slight diuretic effect. Tannins (which are found in large quantities in the fruits of wild pears) are a fixing agent for gastrointestinal disorders.
When eating pears, you must remember that they are high in calories, so nutritionists advise you to eat them separately from other meals. The ideal option is to eat a pear for afternoon tea, instead of the usual office tea with sandwiches, sweets and cookies.
