Pineapple juice has long been known as a refreshing drink, but few people know that if combined properly, it can become an effective liver detox formula and help control blood sugar.
According to Healthline, pineapple contains bromelain - a digestive enzyme that has the ability to fight inflammation and support the liver in eliminating toxins. When combined with turmeric - which is rich in curcumin - it helps protect liver cells and mint or lemon, this drink also promotes the body's purification and stabilization of metabolic function.
The preparation method is quite simple:
Blend 1/2 ripe pineapple with a teaspoon of turmeric (or 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder), 5 mint leaves and 200ml of filtered water. Filter out water or drink the whole body to increase fiber. You can add a little honey if you want it to be slightly sweet. This drink should be taken in the morning 30 minutes before eating for optimal results.
Some studies have also shown that soluble fiber and vitamin C in pineapple help slow down the absorption of sugar, thereby supporting blood sugar control. In particular, this drink is very useful for people with diabetes or those who want to lose weight.
However, experts recommend not to drink more than 1 glass/day and avoid drinking it on an empty stomach if you have stomach problems.
