1 Healthy heart
Studies have showed that Avocado contains a compound called
beta-sitosterol. Beta-sterol is able to reduce bad cholesterol levels in our
system and thus prevents bad cholesterol from destroying our heart.
2 Regulates Blood
Pressure
Pear is significantly high in potassium. Potassium helps to
regulate the effects of sodium. This is because an increase in the intake of
sodium is responsible for an increase in blood pressure.
3 Vision
Avocado contains chemicals that promote good vision and
enhance the overall health of the eye. These chemicals (zeaxanthin and lutein)
help in reducing our risk of developing macular degeneration due to ageing.

skin
Pear contains Vitamin C and E which helps in the growth of
the cells of our skin. Pear has also been used in facial products to treat skin conditions such as acne.
5 Digestion and
constipation
Pear contains a significant amount of dietary fiber that
encourages regular bowel movements. These are very essential for digestion and
prevention of constipation.
6 Cancer
Some studies have established a link between consumption of
pears and a decreased incidence of certain types of cancers such as breast,
mouth, cervical, stomach and prostate cancer. Researchers have attributed this
to the presence of dietary folates which helps in DNA and RNA production.
7 Prevention of birth
defects in infants
In order to prevent neural tube defects in babies when they
are born, it is recommended that pregnant women consume Folate. Studies also
show that folate can prevent miscarriages.
