Being light, without sugar, and without that slightly acidic flavor that natural pineapple usually has, it is much more pleasant and feels very good to all types of stomach, even the most delicate.

However, let’s see now how pineapple water can help us.

1. Reduces inflammation

• As you already know, pineapple contains a very interesting enzyme called bromelain. Its main purpose is to combat inflammation by destroying those toxins that attack our tissues, according to this study carried out by Sri Ramachandra University (India) and that activate pain, edema and fluid retention.

• If we drink pineapple water regularly, our body will notice it. It is very useful if, for example, we suffer from arthritis.

• You may be wondering why we recommend drinking pineapple water on an empty stomach. Well, our indication is that you start the day with a glass of water on an empty stomach, because this way the stomach better absorbs its nutrients and their properties, although it is true that it is not scientifically proven.

2. A good supplement to lose weight

We will clarify first that pineapple water, by itself, will not make you lose those extra kilos. It is necessary that you eat a varied and balanced diet.

Only in these cases can you benefit from the following:

• You will be more satisfied.
• Sweet craving is reduced.
• The thiamine present in pineapple water will allow you to accelerate the body’s metabolism by converting carbohydrates into energy.

• It hydrates you.
• It will provide you with adequate micronutrients that water alone does not offer. So, it will be a good idea for you to carry a small bottle of pineapple water in your bag every day.
• You will avoid cramps or other problems associated with daily fatigue thanks to the potassium in pineapple, according to this study carried out by the Necker Hospital in Paris. Well, it is very effective in maintaining a proper balance of electrolytes in our body.
• Remember, yes, start drinking pineapple water on an empty stomach.

3. Take care of your liver and intestines

• Bromelain, as we have already said, is an enzyme in pineapple that acts as a good catalyst for the liver. It allows you to synthesize vitamins and proteins.

• Its beneficial enzymes, plus a series of antioxidants present in pineapple water,  will also help you detoxify your body of heavy metals.

• On the other hand, it will help you keep your intestines clean.

• Of course, to avoid constipation it is always recommended to consume natural pineapple.
