Pineapple Nutritional Value

Pineapple is a delicious, nutritious, and healthy tropical fruit that originated in South Africa, grown a lot in Vietnam. Pineapple boasts an incredible nutritional profile and is loaded with health-promoting compounds such as antioxidants and a select group of digestive enzymes (the secret weapon) that squash inflammation and fight disease. This impressive fruit has improved digestion, boosted immunity, accelerated recovery after surgery, and more.


100mg of raw pineapple contains about 50 calories, with 80% water, 13% carbohydrates (10mg sugar), 1.5% dietary fiber, 0.5% protein, and low amounts of vitamins, but with 50mg of vitamin C. While pineapple has relatively low levels of minerals, it is exceptionally high in the mineral manganese.






Bromelain, a unique weapon of pineapple

The pineapple can be as intimidating as a hedgehog with its pointed leaves and thick rind. However, this fruit is equally intoxicating because of its sweet, juicy yellow flesh, not to mention the production of pineapple: bromelain.


What most people don't realize about pineapples is that they are more than just a tropical beverage. Because pineapple contains powerful enzymes, especially a protein-digesting enzyme called bromelain, this delicious fruit is truly a medicine!


Bromelain is an enzyme (biocatalyst) found in pineapples. Pineapple is widely used as a natural remedy to treat everything from indigestion to allergies. Pineapple is full of this enzyme and contains vitamin C, vitamin B1, potassium, manganese, and other nutrients. While pineapple has many benefits, the real secret to its healing powers is undoubtedly bromelain.


This fascinating compound has traditionally been a potent anti-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory agent. Research has also shown that it has fibrinolytic and antithrombotic properties. That helps prevent blood clots, edema, and cardiovascular problems.


The Health Benefits of Bromelain

It may help prevent cancer

In studies, bromelain has been found to have natural anti-cancer effects, including promoting apoptosis and suppressing tumor growth. It has been shown in studies that it can induce specific cytokines, has an anti-cytoplasmic impact, and inhibits metastasis by reducing platelet aggregation.


It helps treat digestive disorders

Why is bromelain good for you if you have indigestion or digestive disorders? Because it's a particular enzyme that helps digest protein and has been discovered to help your body absorb nutrients and medications more efficiently. Studies show that it reduces colon inflammation and the secretion of inflammatory cytokines that damage the intestinal lining. Because it is so effective at healing tissues in the digestive tract, bromelain is beneficial for people with the following problems: inflammatory bowel disease, colitis, digestive disorders or peptic ulcers caused by bacterial infection, helicobacter pylori, constipation,...


Supports faster recovery after surgery and injury

The anti-inflammatory properties of bromelain make it a great natural alternative to taking pain relievers, such as aspirin. A study evaluating bromelain's ability to treat affected patients found that it aided wound healing and helped reduce pain and swelling after surgery.


Fights allergies and asthma

Bromelain reduces allergic sensitization and prevents the development of other inflammatory reactions affecting the respiratory tract. These findings suggest that this enzyme helps regulate the entire immune system. It can help prevent allergies by addressing the root cause - a problem when the immune system is hyperactive and oversensitive. This enzyme can potentially target the underlying cause of asthma and allergies. This is why it helps with a runny nose, itchy eyes, swollen lymph nodes, congestion, and difficulty breathing.


It helps relieve joint pain

Due to its potent anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties, bromelain is excellent for relieving acute or chronic joint pain. In one study, the pain was reduced by up to 60% in people given bromelain supplements with acute pain and more than 50% in those with chronic disorders. The conclusion was that "Bromelain has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties and may provide a safer complementary or alternative treatment for osteoarthritis."


Fortunately, this is a fairly common fruit in Vietnam and can be purchased all year round, unlike some cold countries - which are rare and expensive. Pineapple contains a lot of bromelains, which are currently used as a fruit, juice, or supplement, and preparations to promote health and support beauty.
