Do you really know the pears we usually eat? Eating pears not only provides the general nutrition of fruit, but also has the effect of cleaning the mouth and clearing internal waste. It can truly be a great helper for cleaning up bodily waste!
Moisturizes the lungs, clears dryness, relieves coughs, reduces phlegm, nourishes blood, and promotes tissue regeneration
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 tissue regeneration. Therefore, it is highly effective for symptoms such as a dry, itchy, or sore throat, hoarseness, and thick phlegm.
Promotes gastrointestinal motility
Pear juice is rich in dietary fiber, making it the best "cleaner" for the digestive system. The food in restaurants often focuses on "flavor," with many dishes being greasy or spicy, which can easily induce constipation. Drinking a glass of pear juice after a meal can promote gastrointestinal motility, causing a large amount of harmful substances accumulated in the body to be expelled, thus preventing constipation.
Protects the liver, suitable for people who drink alcohol
Pears contain a significant amount of sugars and various vitamins, offering some protective effects for the liver, and are especially suitable for people who consume alcohol.
Lowers blood pressure, nourishes yin and clears heat
Pears have the effects of lowering blood pressure, nourishing yin, and clearing heat. Patients with hypertension, heart disease, hepatitis, or cirrhosis can greatly benefit from drinking pear juice regularly.
Aids 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 fluids and nutrients during high fevers.
Moisturizes yin, relieves dryness, and expels wind
Pears have the effect of moistening dryness and expelling wind. In dry climates, people often experience itchy skin, dryness in the mouth and nose, and sometimes a dry cough with little phlegm. Drinking one or two glasses of pear juice daily can help alleviate these symptoms of dryness.
Helps clean the mouth
Pears have an effect similar to mouthwash, thanks to the "stone cells" they contain. Stone cells are soft granules found in pears, present in both the skin and flesh. On average, about 0.64 grams of stone cells are found in every 100 grams of pear. They can effectively remove plaque from between teeth. Studies have shown that eating half a pear can remove 20% of dental plaque, while eating one-third can remove 10%. Eating the skin is even more effective. In fact, the skins of apples and persimmons also contain stone cells, but in very small amounts. In contrast, pears contain 0.64 grams of stone cells per 100 grams, with stone cells in the skin and flesh measuring 0.5 mm and 0.1–0.3 mm in diameter, respectively.
Little reminder: Eating pears after a meal has many benefits, but it's best to wait for fifteen minutes after finishing your meal to avoid stomach upset from the temperature difference.
