Pineapple juice?

Question

I often get bad indigestion and stomach aches after eating. I heard that drinking pineapple juice helps. I would like to know if anyone has tried this and if it works and any other details. Thanks

Answer 1

Pineapple is Loaded with Vitamins and Minerals
The obvious benefits of pineapple are all the vitamins and minerals the fruit is loaded with. Its nutrients include calcium, potassium, fiber, and vitamin C. In addition it is low in fat and cholesterol.

The benefits of pineapple can be achieved through eating fresh, canned, or frozen pineapple or by drinking its juice.

Pineapple Strengthens Bones
One of the benefits of pineapple is that it helps to build healthy bones. Pineapples are rich in manganese, a trace mineral that is needed for your body to build bone and connective tissues. Just one cup of pineapple provides 73% of the daily recommended amount of manganese. The benefits of pineapple can effect the growth of bones in young people and the strengthening of bones in older people.

Pineapple is Good for Colds and Coughs
While many people often take extra vitamin C or drink extra orange juice when they have a cold, few consider eating pineapple. The benefits of pineapple when you have a cold or cough are the same as the benefits of orange juice, but there is an additional benefit of pineapple. Bromelain, which is found in pineapples, has been found to help suppress coughs and loosen mucus.

Bromelain has been found to be very useful in the treatment of osteoarthritis. I have always advised my patients to eat about 4-5 slices of pineapple daily and they have shown good results.

Pineapple is good for the stomach, but too much of pineapple in any form is bad as it erodes the stomach lining. Eat limited quantities of the fruit and you will be fine.

Answer 2

Anything acidic. A swig of pickle juice will work... or vinegar if you can stand it...try apple cider vinegar w/ honey. Take equal parts apple cider vinegar and honey usually two tablespoons for a normal size cup. Add water and it's a tasty little drink...plus will help with energy too! Don't forget to buy the thick stuff you have to shake before you use or it will not give you the nutrition the other has.

Bromelain is an enzyme derived from pineapple juice, that clots milk and lyses (breaks up) protein. Bromelain is a powerful anti-inflammatory and protein-digesting enzyme.

Bromelain as a supplement -
300 to 500 mg (based on 2,000 GDU/gram), one to three times daily. Taken after meals, Bromelain helps break down proteins for easier digestion. It is taken between meals for its anti-inflammatory action.
