Pears may also prevent weight gain, according to the aforementioned study, and this is largely due to flavonoid polymers: every extra 138 mg of flavonoid polymers resulted in less weight gain over the four-year study period. “Fruits that are rich in flavonoid antioxidants and high in fibre are great choices,” Dr Peterson says. “Fibre fills you up and creates satiety, so pears and apples give you a lot of bang for your buck.” Make sure to eat the skin too for maximum benefits, adds Dr Paul.
