Main benefits of pineapple water on an empty stomach
In our magazine we regularly recommend various treatments to detoxify you and strengthen your immune defenses:
- Drink a glass of warm water and lemon in the morning.
- Eat garlic on an empty stomach.
- Take a tablespoon of olive oil with a few drops of lemon juice.
- A glass of water with a spoonful of baking soda and a little lemon juice.
- A glass of water and honey on an empty stomach.
Well, one thing is clear: some people will be fine with one treatment rather than another. Not all organisms are the same and certainly personal taste also comes into play: what you like will offer a better result.
Drinking pineapple water is a safe way, for example, to reach the two liters of water we need to drink every day.
It is a light drink, without sugar and, without that slightly acidic flavor typical of natural pineapple, it becomes pleasant and suitable for all stomachs, even the most delicate ones.
Let’s see, first, what are the most important benefits of pineapple water.
1. Reduces inflammation
- Pineapple contains a very useful enzyme called bromelain. Its main action on our body is to fight inflammation, destroying the toxins that attack the tissues and cause pain, edema and water retention.
- Drinking pineapple water regularly makes us feel better. It is very useful, for example, if you suffer from arthritis.
- We recommend that you drink this natural drink on an empty stomach: in this way the stomach absorbs more nutrients and reap the maximum benefits. By drinking it after eating, then mixing it with other substances, we hinder its purifying and anti-inflammatory action.
2. A good supplement in weight loss diets
First of all, let’s clarify that pineapple water is not enough to lose weight, if not accompanied by a varied and balanced diet.
Only in these cases can you reap the following benefits:
- Greater sense of satiety.
- Less desire to satisfy oneself with sweets.
- The thiamine present in pineapple water will allow you to speed up your metabolism by converting carbohydrates into energy.
- It is highly moisturizing.
- It provides micronutrients that water alone does not offer you. It might be a good habit to carry a small bottle of pineapple water in your bag.
- Prevents cramps and other problems associated with fatigue: the potassium present in pineapple helps maintain the right balance of electrolytes in our body.
3. Protects the liver and intestines
- Bromelain is an enzyme contained in pineapple, which acts as a catalyst for the liver, helping it synthesize vitamins and proteins.
- The beneficial enzymes and antioxidants found in pineapple water help detoxify the body of heavy metals.
- Helps keep the intestines clean.
- To prevent constipation, it is always advisable to eat pineapple plain.
4. It’s good for the thyroid
- Did you know that pineapple contains iodine? In addition, bromelain protects against many autoimmune diseases, and is therefore useful for treating the symptoms of thyroid malfunction.
