A nutritionist refers to the famous fruit in Brazil as an effective aid in the process of losing weight –
Depending on how it is placed on the plate or the amount eaten, fruits can be a great helper in the weight loss process, due to the amount of fiber, vitamins and minerals that they provide and boast of.
However, some alternatives are more effective when the intention is to say goodbye to those extra pounds. One of these, for example, is known for its royal fame. With an enviable crown, the pineapple is a great example. The fruit is very popular in Brazil and in tropical countries, and guarantees freshness and satiety to the palate, in addition to still having an anti-inflammatory function.
The one who comes up with the information is Spanish nutritionist Leyre López-Iranzu. In an interview with Hola! The professional pointed out that pineapple is a great source for fighting inflammation in the body, and the “shrinking” body responds better and stimulates attempts to lose weight.
“Inflammation is not always harmful, it acts as a defense mechanism against infection or trauma. When it is kept in check for a long period of time, it is dangerous and leads to very harmful chronic diseases,” he explained.
The fruit is also rich in vitamin C, which is a powerful antioxidant that naturally fights free radicals. In addition, pineapple also contains bromelain, which is an enzyme used in the digestion of protein.
