   Eating fresh pears may improve blood pressure and   
   vascular function in middle-aged men and women who are at   
   risk of developing cardiovascular diseases and type 2   
   diabetes, according to a new study. The clinical trial   
   evaluated the antihypertensive effects of fresh pear   
   consumption in middle-aged men and women with metabolic   
   syndrome (MetS), a cluster of major cardiovascular risk   
   factors highly associated with the development of chronic   
   diseases. As many as 50 men and women aged 45 to 65 with   
   three of the five features of MetS were randomly assigned   
   to receive either two medium-sized fresh pears or 50   
   grammes pear-flavoured drink mix per day for 12 weeks.   
   Preliminary analyses of 36 participants show that after   
   12 weeks of fresh pear consumption, systolic blood   
   pressure and pulse pressure were significantly lower than   
   baseline levels, whereas there were no changes in the   
   control group. Further research is needed to confirm the   
   antihypertensive effects of fresh pears.
