(OrganicJar) I was at the farmers market last weekend buying pears and found myself standing in a trance of gratitude, mesmerized by all the amazing foods in season right now. I kept thinking how lucky we are to live on such a magical planet where a tiny seed can grow into a giant tree producing hundreds of fruit every year. Each one of those fruit containing incredible nutrients that help each one of us live a healthier, happier life. And if that isn’t amazing enough…most fruit trees will produce fruit for 30-100 years. Wow.
After I came down from my gratitude high – partly because people began to stare. I went and bought one of my favorite foods: pears. Here are 9 reasons why pears should be in your diet. (see juicing recipes below)
1. Calms Digestion
The pectin and fiber in pears can help stop diarrhea and the cooling tannins can calm an irritated digestive tract.
2. Keeps You Hydrated
Pears are a watery food and when you add in the A and C vitamins and rich mineral content, they can help rehydrate you and keep you hydrated.
3. Improves ADHD
Because of there high fiber content, pears can slow down the sugar excitability that often accompanies ADHD. However they should be eaten in moderation because they do contain natural sugars themselves.
4. Helps Lower Cholesterol
Pears are high in pectin (higher than apples) which reduces cholesterol levels by bonding with dietary fat and cholesterol and removing them from the body through the intestine before they are absorbed through the bloodstream.
