High blood fat is one of the factors that increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke and many other metabolic disorders.
In addition to adhere to treatment as directed by a doctor, building a healthy diet also plays an important role in controlling blood lipids. In which, pineapple juice can be an option to add to the menu because it contains many vitamins, minerals and beneficial plant compounds.
However, it should be understood that pineapple juice only supports health within the framework of a balanced diet, not a treatment method or has the effect of directly reducing blood fat.
Pineapple is a source of vitamin C, manganese and antioxidants, helping to protect cells from the effects of free radicals.
Although there is still not strong enough evidence to confirm that pineapple juice can significantly reduce cholesterol or triglycerides, replacing sugary drinks with pure pineapple juice in appropriate amounts can contribute to improving diet quality.
To use pineapple juice reasonably, you should prioritize fresh pineapple juice, without adding sugar or syrup. Each time you should only drink a moderate amount, about 150–200 ml, combined during meals or after meals instead of drinking too much during the day. Because the juice has eliminated most of the fiber, eating fresh pineapple whole pieces is often a better choice because it helps increase satiety and slow down sugar absorption.
If using juice, it can be combined with some vegetables such as celery or cucumber to increase fiber content and reduce the energy density of the drink.
In addition to choosing suitable drinks, blood fat control needs to be based on many factors. Diet should increase green vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans and fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids, while limiting saturated fat, trans fat and processed foods.
Maintaining regular exercise, controlling weight, not smoking and limiting alcohol are also important measures to help improve cardiovascular health.
