This cinnamon pear salad is so delicious, especially in the winter. At that time of year, there are not so many fresh fruits in season. Apples and pears last a long time in the fridge.
The common apple has uncommonly huge health benefits, and how to best enjoy them. Your mom didn’t use the term superfood but she knew about apples. “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” was the first nutritional advice I and many children heard from their moms. For this reason, we call them “the first superfood.”
Pears have more nutrients per calorie than calories per nutrient (surprising since they are so sweet). They are what I call a Smart Carb. and are a good source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, copper & vitamin K. They are often considered a hypoallergenic fruit that is less likely to produce an adverse response than other fruits by healthcare practitioners making them a great first fruit fed to infants as a safe way to start.
Alkaline Nutritional Tip: Did you know that Pears and Apples are in the highest alkalizing category.
When we think of cinnamon we usually imagine delicious pastries or a hot drink but cinnamon is also full of health benefits. These benefits are backed by valid scientific research. It is helpful from lowering “bad” HDL cholesterol levels to lowering blood sugar levels. It makes this cinnamon pear salad taste heavenly.

I loved the sugarfree Chocolate Walnut bark!

Have I seen you on Facebook regarding Fibromyalgia? Or is that someone else? I was diagnosed with FMS in the 80’s but am just about to see a Genetisist for a probable diagnosis of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Evidedently EDS patients are often misdiagnosed with fibro, or maybe we actually have both.
Thanks so much for your response, have a great 4th.
Lisa, Happy you love that chocolate bar; I do too. For the walnuts you just soak them in water; see SPROUTING NUTS & SEEDS https://www.realfoodforlife.com/sprouting-nuts-seeds I don’t actually soak them for the bar as it would make them not last so long but you can as long as you keep the chocolate refrigerated and eat them within a week.
I did write ‘My Fibromyalgia Story’ https://www.realfoodforlife.com/my-fibromyalgia-story I am happy to say that after 15 years with it I am totally recovered since 2001. You can email me to discuss this in more depth and how I can help. With most health issues it is possible to resolve them from my experience of working with so many people over the last 12 years.
I was looking at one of your recipes and I happen to see your response to someone in which you told a woman that you had had fibromyalgia but was,for certain reasons, no longer afflicted with it. My sister has had it for years and is in constant pain with it(all over her body). No medication nor doctor has been able to help her yet. Would you mind emailing me with the information as to how you were brought out of your pain. I realize you are probably a very busy woman so don’t feel like you have to respond within the next day or two. The end of the week would be fine if you can do so. Thank you, Shyron Ziglar
Hello Shyron, Yes, it can be challenging to have fibromyalgia and I am so happy to not have it any more. I will email you this week.
