The core of the pineapple is where bromelain is concentrated, which has the effect of reducing the metastasis of cancer.

Many people who eat pineapple often have the habit of throwing away the core because it is a bit hard. However, the core of the pineapple is where a lot of bromelain is concentrated, which has the effect of reducing the metastasis of cancer.

Eating pineapple not only helps cool down in the summer, pineapple is also rich in vitamins B1, B2, C, PP, Carotene, organic acids and minerals such as iron, calcium, phosphorus… In particular, pineapple contains bromelain – an enzyme that helps hydrolyze protein into amino acids, which is good for digestion.

According to Tien Phong, Medicine has used pineapple bromelain to treat digestive disorders since 1963. Recently, it has also been proven to reduce the metastasis of cancer, with a dose of 200-300 mg/kg body weight combined with chemotherapy or radiotherapy. In addition, Bromelain increases the immune system, inhibits inflammation, reduces edema and blood stasis, and helps scars heal quickly.

Using grilled pineapple with alum to treat kidney stones is a simple remedy that many people know, but in traditional medicine and folk medicine, there are also many remedies using pineapple such as using pineapple roots as a diuretic, treating difficult urination; Use unripe pineapple juice as a laxative; use young pandan leaves to make a decoction (or crush and squeeze to get the juice) as a medicine to treat fever; roast ripe pineapple, peel, eat 1 fruit per day for 4 days to treat high blood pressure…

Want kidney stones to dissolve on their own: Eat one grilled pineapple every day

In particular, take a ripe pineapple with the skin intact, carve a small hole in the stem, take 7-8 grams of crushed alum and stuff it in, cover it with the pineapple stem that has just been carved, grill it over hot coals (or bury it in the fire) until the skin is completely burnt, the flesh of the fruit is soft, let it cool and squeeze the juice to drink. Drink the juice of 1 fruit every day, the kidney stones will gradually erode and dissolve, if the stones are small, they can be urinated out. However, this fruit is also the cause of many poisoning cases. The cause is due to extremely toxic fungi growing in the pineapple eyes, if the pineapple is crushed, they will have the opportunity to penetrate deep into the pineapple. After eating pineapple for 30-60 minutes, they feel uncomfortable, tired, itchy all over, scratching the skin until it bleeds and is still itchy, hives; severe abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea; may have a rapid pulse, difficulty breathing, low blood pressure. If the poisoning is mild, about 3 hours later, the victim will recover. If severe, the victim will have difficulty breathing, cardiovascular collapse, coma and death.

Note: Do not eat fresh pineapple when hungry, because the organic acids of pineapple and bromelain strongly affect the lining of the stomach and intestines, easily causing nausea and discomfort. People with bleeding diseases or at risk of bleeding should also not eat pineapple because bromelain has the ability to dissolve fibrin, leading to difficulty in stopping bleeding.

To prevent the above complications, choose fresh and intact pineapple. Do not eat crushed pineapple, peel the pineapple thoroughly, cut deep to remove all the eyes, then rub with a little salt and wash before cutting it open to eat. And do not eat a lot of pineapple when hungry.
