There is one tasty tropical fruit whose juice has practically miraculous healing effects on the human body.
Unlike other fruits, it contains a very beneficial enzyme that reduces inflammation in the body, suppresses joint pain, cleanses the body of toxins, helps with weight loss and does many other things.
Pineapple juice and its effects on the body
Pineapple contains the enzyme bromelain, which has very beneficial effects on our body.
It is a protein-digesting enzyme that, besides acting in the digestive system, is absorbed into the blood and can thus act elsewhere in the body.
In addition to the enzyme already mentioned, pineapple juice contains a number of other beneficial vitamins and minerals.
Let’s take a closer look at what effects drinking it will have on your body.
1. Improves thyroid function
Pineapple is relatively rich in iodine, which is essential for proper thyroid function.
It thus helps in the prevention of possible, as well as the treatment of existing, health problems.
2. Improves digestion
Bromelain breaks down proteins and thus helps the pancreas digest them.
Your intestines will also benefit from it because it removes undigested meat remains from them, which can rot. Toxins from them often contribute to the development of colon cancer.
3. Removes intestinal parasites
Several studies have shown that consuming pineapple juice removes many parasites and parasitic worms from the intestines within 3 days.
4. Suppresses inflammation and joint pain
The powerful anti-inflammatory effects of pineapple juice and the enzyme bromelain suppress various types of inflammation in the body. They also remove toxins from organs and tissues.
Regular consumption is therefore recommended for both inflammatory (arthritic) and traumatic joint conditions.
5. Strengthens teeth and gums
Pineapple has a high content of calcium and magnesium needed for dental health.
Together with the anti-inflammatory effects of bromelain and the healing influence of vitamin C, it will help not only the teeth but also the gums with frequent bleeding and periodontitis.
6. Balances electrolytes in the body
The high potassium content, which is the counterbalance to sodium, will balance electrolyte levels in the body.
Potassium also contributes to lowering high blood pressure.
7. Flushes heavy metals from the body
Special antioxidants and enzymes in pineapple juice bind and subsequently flush many heavy metals from the body such as lead, cadmium, mercury, aluminum or arsenic.
8. Prevents cancer
The enzyme bromelain, as mentioned, helps digest proteins. Tumor coverings that protect them from our immune system are also made of proteins.
Bromelain helps remove (digest) these coverings and the tumor thus exposed is subsequently destroyed by the human immune system.
9. Improves vision
The high beta-carotene content in pineapple improves vision and, as a strong antioxidant, protects the eyes.
Research has shown that regular consumption of pineapple or drinking its juice significantly reduces the risk of developing age-related eye diseases.
It is mainly about preventing macular degeneration, which is responsible for the largest occurrence of blindness in older people.
10. Helps you lose weight
Pineapple has diuretic effects that lead to the removal of excessively accumulated bodily fluids and swelling, mainly of the limbs.
It also speeds up metabolism and calorie burning, which is particularly desirable when trying to maintain an appropriate body weight.
How to prepare pineapple juice
Cut off and clean approximately 200 grams of pineapple.
Then you can either juice it and dilute the juice with water in a 1: 1 ratio, or cut it into smaller pieces, blend it in a blender and again dilute with water.
This beverage is best consumed immediately. Storing it, even in the refrigerator, quickly destroys the enzymes, which are probably the most beneficial of all of pineapple’s nutrients.
Drink the beverage preferably in the morning before breakfast on an empty stomach.
