Bromelain is a complex of protein digesting enzymes that function together as a natural anti-inflammatory that has many health benefits and encourages healing. It is very effective in treating bruises and sprains by reducing swelling, tenderness and pain. This powerful effect can relieve rheumatoid arthritis symptoms and reduce postoperative swelling. To receive these benefits from fresh fruit the pineapple should be eaten between meals. However, it is important to point out that fresh pineapple can aid in digestion when ingested with other foods and aid in weight loss.
It can’t be overlooked that recently there have been more and more reports that by eating pineapples or drinking pineapple juice the protein digesting properties of the bromelain has the capacity to reduce tumors and inhibit or prevent the development of cancer.
