Food Selections that Contribute to Health
the small intestine, and that’s why we’d better avoid eating
pears at periods of exacerbation of gastrointestinal disturbance.
In ancient Arabian medical works it was mentioned that pears can help
to treat lung disease. Pear juice and decoctions are anti-bacterially
active due to the presence of arbutin. You can also drink the juice in
order to strengthen the blood vessels walls.
If your aim is to lose weight, do not forget that pears are low calorie
and are often a part of different diets.
We cannot overestimate the usefulness of this fruit for the digestive
system. Ripe pears stimulate food digestion and have corroborative effects;
that is why they are useful when the intestinal system is upset. Pear
pulp is better assimilated in the body than apple pulp. Sour and astringent
varieties of pears strengthen the stomach and liver and stimulate appetite
-- but they are not as easily assimilated within the body.
If you suffer from liver disease, cholecystitis, or gastritis, then
two pears each morning will relive you from pain, heartburn, and the feeling
of discomfort in the intestines.
It is connected with the fact that there is a lot of potassium in pears
and, therefore, there are a lot of alkaline properties in pears that have
a favorable effect on heart performance. The stronger the smell of pears,
the more healthy they are -- especially for our hearts. Unlike apples,
pears are also useful for the lungs.
Pears are also healthy for the skin. If you are not content with your
freckles, for example, you can try to lighten them by using the following
method: a ripe pear is mashed, then the juice is removed before applying
the pulp to the face for 15-20 minutes. The pulp is then rinsed off with
water. This mask is also helpful if the skin is blotched.
In winter, a mask made from ground pear, a tablespoon of sour cream,
and a tablespoon of grapefruit juice does a lot of good for dry skin.
You keep it on your face for half an hour, and then rinse your face with
water.
Pear juice is suitable for taking care of any type of skin. Pear masks
and lotions smooth the skin and make more it more elastic; they also help
to decrease pore size. To create such masks and lotions, you first mash
ripe pears and then apply the substance to your face for 20 minutes. You
then rinse your face with cold water, after which you rinse with hot water.
If a mask contains only pear pulp, it can heal, rejuvenate and
freshen skin.
Useful Grapes.
No other season can be compared to early autumn in terms of the abundance
of fresh fruit and vegetables. Grapes should be paid particular attention
to among this vitamin diversity. It’s not in vain that doctors compare
grape therapy to a trip to a mineral water resort. But why do we have
to go anywhere when if we can have the same at home?
The curative properties of grapes have been known for a long time. According
to the Bible, the first plant cultivated on the mountain Ararat was grapes.
Greeks and Romans who lived in ancient times used the curative properties
of grapes to recover strength and to improve metabolism. They also used
grapes to recover from tonsillitis, mouth ulcers, and blood coughing.
Grapes and grape juice were known as a wonderful diuretic (they have up
to 70-80 percent water containing attenuated sugar, acids, vitamins and
salts). The juice is also a laxative (due to glucose) and an expectoration
remedy. The later property of grapes can be explained by the presence
of acids that they contain. They irritate the respiratory track slightly,
making it easy for phlegm secretion. The “Isabella” variety
of grape is recommended as a remedy against catarrhs of respiratory tracks,
while the “Muscat” variety is helpful against throat inflammation.
Dried grapes (i.e. raisins) can be used as a sweet pill against lung,
liver and kidney disease.
There are large amounts of microelements and easily-assimilated mineral
salts (such as zinc, calcium, iron, copper, magnum and manganese) in grapes.
Grapes are especially rich in potassium, and that’s why grapes are
beneficial for individuals with heart problems. They are also recommended
for people suffering from leukemia since they increase the quantity of
blood cells and increase the level of hemoglobin. They also bring the
correlation between blood cells to a normal level and stimulate the hematosis
performance of marrow.
For medical purposes, entire grapes are used -- including the peel and
the leaves. Grape juice is also healthy. For example, one liter of juice
has the same number of calories as 1.5 kilos of apples and peaches, or
650 grams of beef. The energy that a person gets out of one kilo of grapes
is 700-850 calories. Considering these calculations, we can say that four
kilos of fresh grapes (or one kilo of raisins) can provide you with enough
energy for 24 hours.
