Like all pears it is a great addition to a healthy diet being rich in flavonoid antioxidants and dietary fibre. The former help reduce unnecessary inflammation and prevent cell damage and the latter improves bowel movements. Regular bowel movements are essential for health to remove toxins on a daily basis. Pears are 84% water which also helps with hydration and keeping the stool soft.

As far back as 13th century in Europe, a herbal mixture of cooked pears with honey was used to improve gut health. St. Hildegard of Bingen, Germany regarded the mixture as “more precious than gold’’ and used it to rid the body of bad bacteria while enhancing the production of the good bacteria. Modern Science has also verified that a diet rich in organic fruit and vegetables reduces inflammation while the fibre in conjunction with enough liquid improves bowel movements.

The soluble and insoluble fibre in pears also helps with weight loss, they are low in calories but give a feeling of fullness. The fibre also helps take cholesterol out of the body and supports more stable blood sugar levels.
