PINEAPPLE FOR WEIGHT LOSS

Despite all the hype, pineapple may not have a significant effect on metabolism as far as weight loss goes.  It is, however, a healthy choice for snacking because its low cal, high in fiber and chock full of vitamins and minerals.  It won’t directly cause weight loss, but it may help to mildly stimulate your metabolism and it will fill you up without adding a lot of calories.  We might be less likely to overeat if we consume more fruits and vegetables each day as part of our wellness program.

PINEAPPLE BROMELAIN

Pineapple contains an enzyme called bromelain.  Bromelain comes from the pineapple stalk and some studies show that bromelain can reduce inflammation.  It may also improve digestion and it’s used in the treatment of some digestive disorders

BROMELAIN AND WEIGHT LOSS

Bromelain helps to metabolize protein which in turn can help burn away unwanted fat.  It also works with other enzymes such as lipase (an enzyme produced by the pancreas) to digest fats which may help to suppress your appetite.
