• Taking a tablespoon of olive oil with a few drops of lemon juice.
• Drinking a glass of water with a tablespoon of baking soda and a little lemon juice.

Pineapple water is light, unsweetened, and doesn’t have the acidity of regular pineapple. Consequently, it is delicious and easy on even the most delicate stomachs.

Let’s take a look at how pineapple water can benefit your body.

1. It reduces inflammation

• As you already know, pineapple contains bromelain, an enzyme that fights inflammation. Bromelain destroys the toxins that attack our tissues and cause pain, edema and fluid retention.
• Pineapple water is a great natural remedy if you suffer from arthritis.
• We recommend that you start your day with a glass of pineapple water on an empty stomach so the stomach can better absorb the nutrients. After eating, pineapple’s purifying and anti-inflammatory action is impeded by other components of your food.

2. It is a great weight loss supplement

Remember, pineapple water by itself will not make you shed pounds. You need to pair it with a balanced diet and exercise.

Drinking pineapple water on a regular basis can help you feel more satisfied after eating. You won’t crave as many sweets, and the thiamine in pineapple water will help increase your metabolism by converting carbohydrates into energy.

Pineapple water is perfect for staying hydrated on hot days, and the perfect post-workout drink. It has high levels of potassium which helps maintain a healthy electrolyte balance in your body and keeps feeling energized.

3. Drinking pineapple water is good for your intestines and liver

• The bromelain in pineapples acts as a catalyst in the liver, helping it to synthesize vitamins and proteins.
• Its beneficial enzymes and antioxidants will help you to cleanse your body of heavy metals.
• Eating natural pineapple is great for gut health and digestion.

4. Pineapple water is good for your thyroid gland

• Did you know that pineapple water contains iodine, an important nutrient for thyroid health? Not only that, but the bromelain could also protect you from some autoimmune diseases, which are related to the thyroid gland.
