Pears Fight Diabetes
Pears offer a person with diabetes a very healthy snack. They are low in carbohydrates and calories. Pears, especially with the skin left on, are high fiber fruits. An average pear contains at least 5 grams of fiber. These fibers helps reduce blood sugar and cholesterol. Dietary fibers in pears slow the absorption of carbs into the bloodstream providing a sustained and slow rise in blood glucose over a longer period of time, reducing the chance of a sharp spike in blood glucose.
