Stay sharp with Pears

Pears are great antioxidants as they contain a mineral called Quercetin, which helps in preventing cancer and various heart diseases. Quercetin works by keeping a check on damaged arteries and thus benefits the blood and heart directly. Pears count low on the glycemic index, which are foods that can be digested with ample amount of time. This feature helps in producing a higher level of glucose and insulin in the blood stream, and is extremely beneficial for people suffering from diabetes. If you are suffering from obesity or want to lose weight, then do include this fruit in your daily diet.
