Top 10 Health Benefits of Pineapples

3. Relieves Morning Sickness

Studies have shown that eating pineapple early in the morning can help reduce nausea and vomiting caused by morning sickness. A folk remedy also suggests drinking pineapple juice to alleviate morning sickness.

The nausea-relieving effect can be attributed to its high vitamin and mineral content, especially vitamin B6 that helps relieve pregnancy-induced nausea.

When suffering from morning sickness, eat a bowl of fresh pineapple or drink pineapple juice first thing in the morning.

4. Good for Weight Loss Diets

Pineapple is a great fruit for those on a diet to lose weight because it fills you up and provides energy without adding too many calories. One-half cup of fresh pineapple has less than 60 calories. The fruit has high water content and is loaded with fiber that keeps you feeling full for longer.

You can also create a tincture to facilitate weight loss by cutting a pineapple into chunks, processing it in a meat grinder, pouring it in a mason jar and adding a pint of vodka. Store it in the refrigerator for one week.

Take one tablespoon of this tincture 15 to 20 minutes before eating your meals. Continue until you get encouraging results.
