Bromelain from pineapple, a miracle enzyme
If you incorporate it into your fat loss and weight loss regimen, there are 3 main ways you can take advantage of the bromelain in pineapple:
- Eating the fiber-rich core of a pineapple juices, and is ripe as it is the best way to consume natural sources of bromelain. Keep in mind that the more mature the fruit, the softer the kernel will be. So be sure to keep it an extra day or two outside to make sure you’re not chewing on a tough stalk. Note that the flesh of a pineapple is good for you too, but it doesn’t have the high bromelain content as the core.
- Drinking fresh pineapple juice. Extract the juice from the core of the pineapple or incorporate it into a smoothie along with other vegetables such as cucumber. Drinking fresh pineapple juice has been shown to be a powerful remedy against inflammatory diseases. It is recommended to drink 4 ounces a day to help prevent digestive problems and up to 8 ounces to treat conditions such as ulcerative colitis, inflammatory bowel disease or constipation.
- Taking a natural bromelain supplement or bromelain proteolytic enzyme supplement can also be very effective if it targets a specific or chronic inflammatory disease. If you are trying to improve digestion, it is recommended to take it with meals, but for all other health problems take it on an empty stomach.
