To tackle fiber deficiency in the body, including fruits along with other nutritious foods in the diet is essential. According to Baba Ramdev’s book, one particular fruit has been highlighted in detail for its health benefits. Patanjali considers this green fruit a “nectar fruit” and strongly recommends eating it daily. The fruit is pear (nashpati). Though it is a seasonal fruit, consuming it regularly during its season can provide significant health benefits.
Health Benefits of Pears
According to Baba Ramdev, pears are not only tasty but also highly beneficial for health. In Ayurveda, this fruit is known as a “strength-enhancing fruit.” At the Patanjali Science Research Center, patients are regularly advised to include pears in their diet. Pears are rich in folate, vitamin C, and polyphenol antioxidants.
Here are some major benefits of eating pears:
- Improves Digestion: Pears are packed with fiber, which helps in relieving constipation and other digestive problems.
- Good for Heart Health: The potassium and antioxidant properties in pears help control blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart attack.
- Helps in Weight Loss: Being low in calories and high in fiber, pears help control hunger and improve metabolism.
- Boosts Immunity: Vitamin C and anti-inflammatory properties in pears strengthen the immune system.
- Great for Skin and Hair: The vitamins and nutrients in pears help in making skin glow and nourish the hair. Pears also support bone health and contribute to weight loss.
When Are Pears in Season?
Pears are available from July to September. They have a cooling effect on the body, so people suffering from cold and cough should avoid them. However, during summer and monsoon, pears can be very beneficial. This fruit also helps protect the body from viral infections.
