Eat one type of fruit after meals to eliminate carcinogens from the body

Eating one type of fruit after meals can help eliminate carcinogens from the body. Researchers conducted experiments on smokers, having them consume 750 grams of pears per day for 4 days, and measured the level of 1-hydroxypyrene, a metabolite of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, in their urine before and after eating pears. It was found that eating pears 6 hours after smoking led to a significant excretion of 1-hydroxypyrene in human urine; if no pears were eaten, little 1-hydroxypyrene was excreted. Heated pear juice contains large amounts of the anti-cancer substance polyphenols; when given to mice that had been injected with carcinogens, this pear juice caused these mice to excrete large quantities of 1-hydroxypyrene toxin in their urine, thereby effectively preventing cancer. Eating a pear, especially after consuming fried or fast-food items, is a healthy lifestyle choice. 　　Additionally, although pears are sweet, they have very low levels of calories and fat; eating more pears can help clean the body’s organs and soften blood vessels in middle-aged and elderly people. Eating pears also has a certain auxiliary therapeutic effect on conditions such as anorexia, indigestion, enteritis, and chronic pharyngitis. However, experts warn that although pears are a delicious fruit, they should not be consumed in large quantities. People suffering from coughs caused by wind-cold, cold pain in the abdomen, loose stools due to weak spleen function, as well as new mothers, should eat them with caution. Pears also have a diuretic effect, so those who suffer from frequent urination at night should eat fewer pears before going to bed. Pears contain a lot of fruit acids, so people with high stomach acid levels should not eat too many of them.
