Pear contains about 86% water, about 10% carbohydrate, and less than 1% protein and fat. Because the water content is relatively high, eating pears can help replenish water. Pear also contains more dietary fiber (mainly insoluble dietary fiber, such as lignin and cellulose), which is 3. 1g/ 10g, which is very suitable for people with constipation. In addition, pears contain a variety of vitamins and minerals, but they are not rich. Among them, the content of vitamin C is about 6 mg/100 g, which is far less than that of fresh dates, kiwis, hawthorn, citrus and other fruits.
For ordinary healthy people, eating pears does not need to pay attention to time, and pears can be placed at any time of the day, such as before, after and during meals. For example, when the quality of breakfast is not high, you can eat a pear to supplement it; For another example, you can eat a pear as a snack at three or four in the afternoon.
However, for some special people, such as diabetics, when blood sugar is stable, pears should be placed between meals (such as 10 at 3: 00 in the morning and afternoon) to avoid eating pears immediately after meals, so as to avoid large fluctuations in blood sugar. For people who need to lose weight and control blood lipid and blood pressure, pears should be placed before meals, because they can help reduce the intake of other foods and consume more nutrients such as dietary fiber and potassium. People who are thin and need to gain weight are suitable for eating pears after meals, which can avoid eating fruits before meals and affect the intake of dinner.
The Dietary Guidelines for China Residents (version 20 16) suggests eating fruits every day and ensuring the intake of 200-350g fresh fruits every day. Fruit juice can't replace fresh fruit. For pears, it is equivalent to the weight of 1-2 medium-sized pears. Pears can be eaten raw or cooked, such as stewed tremella with rock sugar Sydney.
