Pineapple and turmeric are good for anti-inflammatory and cough relief

Pineapple is a "natural anti-inflammatory agent" in summer. It not only contains rich nutritional enzymes, but also has the effects of cooling off, relieving cough and resisting fatigue. Chinese medicine practitioners point out that pineapple is mild in nature, sweet and sour in taste, and has the effects of promoting fluid production and quenching thirst, promoting diuresis and reducing swelling, and moistening the intestines and promoting bowel movements. In particular, pineapple combined with turmeric is particularly effective in anti-inflammatory effects.

Chen Chaozong, chairman of the Taiwan Association of Primary Care Chinese Medicine Practitioners and a Chinese medicine practitioner, pointed out that pineapple is one of the seasonal fruits in Taiwan in summer. The "Compendium of Materia Medica" once recorded: "Pineapple nourishes the spleen and stomach, consolidates the vital energy, subdues hyperactivity of yang, supports the weak earth, strengthens the spirit, benefits the blood, benefits the head, and makes people happy and beneficial to the mind." It has the effect of strengthening the stomach and intestines and digesting food.

Bromelain combined with turmeric has a good anti-inflammatory effect

The sweet and sour juicy pineapple is rich in bromelain, making it the most appetizing and digestive fruit in summer. It is especially suitable for people who eat a lot of meat and have abdominal obesity. In addition, it is also suitable for people with a hot constitution. However, it is recommended to eat it after a meal to help digestion, especially after lunch.

In particular, bromelain is a special nutrient in pineapple that can not only fight inflammation, build the immune system, and eliminate free radicals, but it can also have a better antioxidant effect when used together with curcumin. In addition, bromelain can relieve joint pain, and even lower blood pressure, prevent lung diseases such as bronchitis, and is low in calories, which helps with weight loss.

Pineapple relieves cough, moistens lungs, soothes nerves and aids digestion

Chinese medicine practitioner Chen Chaozong emphasized that hot weather can easily make people lack energy and appetite. Excessive sweating can also lead to water loss. In addition, the fire in the heart and liver will rise, which can also cause irritability and gastrointestinal dysfunction. It is recommended to add sour pineapple to medicinal tea to aid digestion, calm the nerves and promote sleep.

Other studies have found that pineapples can increase the body's "melatonin", which helps adjust the biological clock and helps to sleep well and calm the mind. In addition, there has been a folk remedy of "eating pineapples to relieve coughs" since ancient times, mainly because bromelain can prevent infectious diseases and kill bacteria.
