Pineapple contains a substance called "bromelain", which can break down protein, help digestion, dissolve fibrin and blood clots blocked in tissues, improve local blood circulation, dilute blood lipids, eliminate inflammation and edema, and promote blood circulation. Especially after eating too much meat and greasy food, it is more appropriate to eat some pineapple to prevent fat deposition.

Bromelain can effectively break down protein in food and increase gastrointestinal motility. This enzyme can break down protein in the stomach, replenish the deficiency of digestive enzymes in the human body, and restore normal digestive function for patients with indigestion. This substance prevents gelation and can be used to sour milk or soften other fruits, but this property is weakened in cooking.

In addition, the sugar and enzymes contained in pineapple have a certain diuretic effect, which is beneficial for people with nephritis and hypertension, and also has auxiliary therapeutic effects on bronchitis. Due to the effect of cellulose, it also has a certain effect on the treatment of constipation. When indigestion occurs, eating some pineapple can stimulate the appetite, relieve gas, eliminate greasiness, aid digestion, and relieve constipation. In addition, pineapple is rich in vitamin B1, which can promote metabolism and eliminate fatigue. [7]
