Improves Digestion

Have you ever had that sudden discomfort after eating something heavy, and then had to resort to taking some digestive supplements? Well, there is an easier way. Pineapple Juice has Bromelain – a group of enzymes responsible for aiding digestion processes including breakdown of food into smaller molecules making it elevates digestion capabilities significantly.

This acts as a natural supplement helping reduce inflammation throughout gastrointestinal tract improving one’s overall bowel health.(yes we went all sciencey with this term)

Helps stop bloating

Everyone has experienced bloating at least once in their life- whether it was from too much pizza or because they consumed too many fizzy drinks. But did you know that drinking Pineapple Juice can actually help combat bloating?

The enzyme called bromelain present inside them breaks down proteins in our stomach promoting better absorption keeping away symptoms like gas, constipation, belching etc…gone are days when anything edible makes us feel self-conscious!

Reduces Joint Pain and Inflammation

Nobody likes waking up feeling lazy every morning due exacerbated joint pain‼ What if I told you that Pineapple Juice could help ease those pains away?

Bromelain once again comes to the rescue here! Breaking down protein like collagen found around joints reducing swelling/soreness . This compliments previous points mentioned above on how pineapple juice reduces inflammation pretty well doesn’t it?

Though there is no direct harm associated with consumption,everything should be taken within limits (sorry ’bout raining on parade) isn’t always good‼
Here are few things to keep in mind while gulping down your drink:

  • High sugar content – pineapple juice naturally contains high amounts of sugars,which can be bad news for people with diabetes , or those watching their waistlines
  • Allergic reaction(in rare cases)- some may experience allergic symptoms like rashes /swelling after consuming pineapples,pineapple juice too can potentially cause similar reactions
