Naju City "Helping Daegu and Gyeongbuk"... Providing Pear Juice Good for Respiratory Health

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Naju City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Kang In-gyu) announced on the 13th that, together with the Nonghyup Naju Cooperative Operation Council (Chairman Choi Gongseop), it supported 960 boxes of pear juice, which is good for bronchial health, to seven local governments including Daegu, Gyeongbuk region, and sister cities.

According to the city, this pear juice support was prepared to share the pain of residents, medical staff, and vulnerable groups in Daegu City and neighboring cities in Gyeongbuk, which are struggling due to the rapid increase in COVID-19 confirmed cases, as well as sister cities in the metropolitan area, to cheer for overcoming COVID-19, and to strengthen the harmony between Yeongnam and Honam regions.

The city delivered the pear juice via Nonghyup APC vehicles to Daegu Metropolitan City, the area with the highest number of COVID-19 cases, as well as to Yeongju, Sangju, Gyeongju in Gyeongbuk, Wonju in Gangwon, and sister cities Dongdaemun-gu and Jongno-gu in Seoul.

Pear juice made from Naju pears, a local specialty exported worldwide, is an excellent processed food for bronchial health, helping with coughs, colds, and asthma.

In particular, pear juice contains large amounts of special ingredients such as luteolin and policosanol, which are known to reduce bronchial inflammation, supply moisture to the respiratory tract, and help expel phlegm and carcinogens from the body.

Mayor Kang In-gyu said, “Since Naju also experienced many difficulties due to COVID-19 confirmed cases last month, I empathize with how hard and anxious the hearts of citizens in Daegu, Gyeongbuk, and other regions must be. As united citizens of Korea, if we share our difficult and painful feelings together, we will be able to overcome today’s crisis quickly.”
