It is generally accepted that pineapple juice burns fat. This stable statement has been around for many years, although it is nothing more than another myth, says trainer, nutritionist and consultant on the psychology of eating behavior Anna van der Vleet, writes Championat.
She confirms that pineapple contains the enzyme bromelain, which helps burn fat, but bromelain breaks down proteins, not fats.
At the same time, pineapple is one of the sweetest juices, and this does not contribute to weight loss.
At the same time, psychologist and expert in the psychology of weight loss Elena Kalen adds that pineapple can be added to cottage cheese, salad, chicken fillet or dessert, but even in this case it is not able to burn subcutaneous fat that has already been deposited.
Pineapple juice is generally healthy, helps improve digestion and contains a large amount of vitamin C, experts admit. But pineapple also has contraindications. According to nutritionist Christy Lessing, it is very acidic, and consuming it can aggravate stomach ulcers or gastritis. Also, pregnant women and breastfeeding women should use pineapple with caution, because its juice stimulates muscle tissue and causes their tone.
