Answer 2

Answer:

1 small pear (140g or 3 per lb)

81 calories, 0.2g fat, 1.4mg sodium, 22g carbs (4g of fiber & 14g of sucrose), 0.5g protein, 1% RDA vitamin A, 1% RDA Iron, 1% RDA calcium.

That's all pretty standard stuff. But what makes pears really good:

11% RDA of Vitamin C (immune support & anti-oxidant)

10% RDA of Copper (a compounded in superoxide dismutase(SOD), an enzyme that eliminates superoxide radicals which are a byproduct of your bodies metabolism process)

Pears have a high fiber content which supports a health colon function, helping to prevent constipation, promote regularity, lower cholesterol, and the fiber also binds to known cancer causing chemicals found in the colon there-by also reducing your risk of cancer.

Pears have one of the lowest rates of allergic reaction which make it a 'hypo-allergenic' food.

In addition to which they have 166mg potassium which is great for preventing your feet from getting tired!

Diets high in fruit have also been linked statistically with a reduction in macular degeneration.
