    Pear Juice for Constipation

    Updated: Nov 3, 2022 by Gustavo De Obaldia

    Written by Gustavo De Obaldia

    Are you tired of dealing with the discomfort and frustrations of constipation? Say goodbye to digestive woes with a natural and delicious remedy: pear juice! Packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals, pear juice offers a gentle and refreshing solution that can help anyone. In this post, we will explore the incredible benefits of pear juice for constipation.

    But that's not all! We'll also explore the inclusion of hormone-balancing superfoods, which can help regulate hormonal levels, further enhancing the body's natural equilibrium. Join us as we uncover the incredible benefits of this holistic approach to constipation and hormone balance. Let's get started on a journey towards improved digestive health and overall vitality!

    We love eating pears as they come in all kinds of shapes, colors, and dimensions, but one thing that they all have in common is that as long as you let them ripen, most of the time, they will deliver a fantastic, super sweet, and flavorful taste.

    Pears are rich in dietary fiber, making them the ideal dessert when things are not moving. Drinking fruit juices usually leaves little fiber traces on the final result, but that is not the case with pear.

    This pear juice recipe was inspired by our smoothie for constipation on this site, and we like pairing it with a delicious and fiber-packed blueberry overnight oats treat. Not only will it increase your insoluble fiber intake, but you will also enjoy a super delicious and wholesome breakfast.

    🧾 Ingredients

    When making fresh fruit juices, always use organic produce that has not been packed in plastic since it may absorb some of its plastic components. This means you may have to wash them thoroughly.

    We wash all our veggies as soon as we return from the farmers' market, then centrifugate them on a lettuce spinner and store them ready for juicers, smoothies, and salads in the fridge.

    pear juice for constipation with hormone balancing superfoods ingredients.
    • Pear - Pears are rich in antioxidants and fiber content. Both of these nutrients are important for good gut health. Pears may help relieve constipation and stimulate bowel movement because they are packed with dietary fiber. Antioxidants help to protect cells from damage, while fiber helps to keep the digestive system healthy.
    • Spinach - this leafy green vegetable is one of the most popular vegetables in the world, thanks to its nutrient-richness and versatile flavor. Whether you're enjoying it in a salad, sauteed as a side dish, or blended into a smoothie, spinach is a delicious way to boost your health!
    • Carrot greens - Carrots are not only edible but also nutritious. Their greens are full of vitamins and minerals, making them a great addition to any diet. You can make a carrot pesto and include them in juices, salads, and smoothies.
    • Spearmint - the refreshing taste of spearmint is perfect for a hot summer day. Not to mention, consuming spearmint has excellent benefits, like improving digestion and alleviating stress.
    • Celery - There are many reasons to enjoy celery. First, it is a low-calorie foodstuff that is ideal for dieters. Secondly, it is full of essential vitamins and minerals. Thirdly, it has a refreshing taste that can perk up any meal. Finally, consuming celery is an excellent way to stay hydrated. Check out our morning celery juice for a fantastic anti-inflammation drink to start your day.

    See the recipe card for quantities.

    Substitutions

    • Carrot greens - instead of carrot tops, double the amount of spinach and add parsley, kale, or any collard greens.
    • Celery - use half a cucumber instead.
    • Spearmint - use mint or exclude it from the recipe.

    🍽 Equipment

    Use a good quality cold-pressed juicer. We use our nama juicer because it is super to use; it is a hands-off juicer, meaning you can add all the recipe components into the vase and do other things while your juice is being prepared.

    Also, being a cold-pressed juicer, it keeps most of the product's nutrients, prevents oxidation, and yields almost 40% more juice than low-quality centrifugal juicers.

    This means the residual juice pulp is minimal and dry.

    🔪 Instructions

    Wash all your ingredients thoroughly.

    pear juice ingredients chopped into medium sized chunks.

    Step 1: Core the pear and chop it with the celery into medium-sized chunks. Remove the stems from the spearmint and chop the carrot greens into no more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) long. This will prevent the juicer spirals from getting stuck.

    Step 2: Start juicing, introduce the greens first, then software pear, and finish with the tougher celery.

    Hint: we like to add ice cubes and have chilled juice. Feel free to add drops of lemon juice directly into the glass for extra zing and Vitamin C!

    🫙 Storage

    Juices are subject to oxidation, so consuming them immediately after preparation is better. If you need to store them, use a BPA-free container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

    🍐 Why pear good is good for constipation?

    Pear Juice: constipation relief! 😀 Pear juice is an excellent natural remedy for constipation due to several reasons:

    1. High Fiber Content: Pears are rich in dietary fiber, especially insoluble fiber, which adds bulk to the stool and promotes regular bowel movements. Increased fiber intake helps soften the stool and makes it easier to pass through the digestive system. (source)
    2. Water Content: Pears have a high water content, which helps hydrate the body and maintain proper fluid balance in the digestive system. This hydration can soften the stool, making it easier to pass and reducing the likelihood of constipation. (source)
    3. Sorbitol Content: Pears contain sorbitol, a natural sugar alcohol that has a mild laxative effect. Sorbitol helps stimulate bowel movements and relieve constipation by drawing water into the intestines, softening the stool, and promoting regularity. (source)
    4. Nutrient-Rich: Pears are packed with essential nutrients, including vitamins C and K, as well as minerals like potassium. These nutrients support overall digestive health and contribute to the proper functioning of the digestive system. (source)
    5. Gentle and Refreshing: Unlike some harsher laxatives or medications, pear juice provides a gentle and refreshing solution for constipation. It is a natural and soothing option that can be easily incorporated into your daily routine.

    Incorporating pear juice into your diet can help alleviate constipation, promote regular bowel movements, and improve digestive health overall.

    It may aid women with hormone imbalances and reduce facial hair

    Spearmint may have benefits for women's hormones. It has been shown to decrease male hormone levels and increase ovulation-related ones, which can help with fertility issues. (source)

    Also, spearmint tea could be the key to female facial hair growth prevention. The active ingredients in this herb are testosterone lowering, which may prevent women from growing whisker-like structures on their faces. (source)

    May improve memory

    New research has found that spearmint extract helps improve memory function in older adults. It's shown some promise, but further studies are needed before we can confidently say if this works as an effective treatment or tool against forgetfulness. (source)

    It may lower blood sugar

    Some human research suggests spearmint may help lower blood sugar for people with diabetes, but the evidence isn't clear-cut. Rat Studies show it can significantly lower glucose (sugar) levels in rats infected by beta-cells producing insulin—a type known to cause Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus or overtake this condition due to their high production rate over time. (source)

    It may help reduce stress

    It may lower blood pressure

    There is some evidence that suggests spearmint may help reduce high blood pressure. One study showed it worked similarly to common medications for this condition, so you can try adding some of these plants into your diet if the numbers on their prescriptions count themselves out! (source)

    💡 Top tip

    If you have leftover pear, rub some lemon juice on the exposed flesh to delay its darkening process.

    ❓ FAQ

    Do you peel pears before juicing?

    There is no right or wrong answer to this question, as it depends on personal preference. Some people prefer to peel pears before juicing them, while others do not. Peeling the pears can make the juice smoother and less fibrous, but it also removes some of the vitamins and minerals from the fruit. We recommend not peeling pears, but you need to core them.

    What juices are good for constipation?

    There are other drinks that make you poop immediately. Apart from pear juice, apple juice, prune juice, papaya, and mangoes are great for treating occasional constipation naturally.
    Also, consuming other high-fiber fruits and vegetables like red fruits and celery and great for stimulating bowel movements.
