Do you really know the pears we usually eat? Eating pears not only satisfies the nutrition of ordinary fruits, but also has the effects of cleaning the mouth and clearing internal waste. It is truly a great helper for cleaning up the body's garbage!
Moisturizes the lungs, clears dryness, relieves coughs, reduces phlegm, nourishes blood, and promotes muscle growth
Pear juice is sweet, sour, and neutral in nature. It has the effects of moistening the lungs, clearing dryness, relieving coughs, reducing phlegm, nourishing blood, and promoting muscle growth. Therefore, it is effective for symptoms such as throat dryness, itching, pain, hoarseness, and thick phlegm.
Promotes gastrointestinal peristalsis
Pear juice is rich in dietary fiber and is the best "cleaner" for the stomach and intestines. The dishes in restaurants mostly focus on "flavor," and the food is often greasy or spicy, which can easily induce constipation after eating. Drinking a glass of pear juice after a meal can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, causing a large amount of harmful substances accumulated in the body to be excreted, thus avoiding constipation.
Protects the liver, suitable for people who drink alcohol
Pears contain more carbohydrates and various vitamins, which have a certain protective effect on the liver, and are especially suitable for people who drink alcohol.
Lowers blood pressure, nourishes yin, and clears heat
Helps kidney excretion
Pears help the kidneys excrete uric acid and prevent gout, rheumatism, and arthritis.
Promotes appetite and aids digestion
Pears can promote appetite, aid digestion, and have diuretic, laxative, and antipyretic effects. They can be used to replenish water and nutrients during high fevers.
Nourishes yin, moistens dryness, and expels wind
Pears have the effect of moistening dryness and expelling wind. In dry climates, people often feel itchy skin, dry mouth and nose, and sometimes a dry cough with little phlegm. Drinking one or two glasses of pear juice daily can relieve these symptoms of dryness.
Helps clean the mouth
Pears have the effect of a mouthwash, thanks to the "stone cells" they contain. Stone cells are some soft granules in pears, found in both the skin and flesh. On average, about 0.64 grams of stone cells are contained in every 100 grams of pear. They can effectively remove plaque from between teeth. Studies have found that eating half a pear can remove 20% of dental plaque, while eating one-third can remove 10%, and eating it with the skin is even more effective. In fact, the skins of apples and persimmons also contain stone cells, but in very small amounts, whereas in pears, there are 0.64 grams of stone cells per 100 grams, with the skin and flesh containing stone cells of 0.5 mm and 0.1-0.3 mm in diameter, respectively.
A small reminder: Eating pears after a meal has many benefits, but it is best to eat them fifteen minutes after the meal to avoid discomfort from the temperature difference and an upset stomach.
