The pear has many phenolic compounds, flavonoids, responsible for the color of the fruit, and phenolic acids. Present mainly in the peel of the fruit, these components can neutralize free radicals, thanks to their antioxidant effect. Phenolic compounds thus contribute to the prevention of cardiovascular disease and certain cancers.
The high fiber content of the pear also help decrease the risk of heart disease and the regulation of intestinal transit. The soluble fibers contained in the pear delaying absorption of glucose in the small intestine, allowing a better control of glycemia. People with type 2 diabetes should monitor blood sugar levels, that is to say, the sugar (glucose) in the blood, so as not to be hyperglycemia.
