Pineapple is
definitely one of the most favourite fruits among children and adults.
This tropical fruit is a member of the bromeliad family. It is also one
of the rarest fruits belonging to this family. The unique part of
pineapple is that it is a multiple fruit. In layman’s terms, pineapple
is made up of dozens of individual flowerets; these flowerets together
form the entire fruit of pineapple. Like bananas, it is a highly likable
fruit and is considered to be a very exotic and luxurious one. The
fruit is loaded with several health benefits and people all over the
world completely swear by it. Consumption of this delicious fruit on a
regular basis can prove to be immensely helpful for your system.
It is packed with lots of vitamins and essential minerals and
strengthens weak bones, improves gum health, prevents macular
degeneration, treats arthritis, cures digestive problems, and reduces
risk of blood clots. However, the most effective use of pineapple has
been for treating cold, sinusitis and bronchitis.
According to studies, pineapple, when mixed with a few other
ingredients, can prove to be an immensely effective medicine for curing
those suffering from tuberculosis and other coughing issues like
sinusitis and bronchitis. There are several pineapple recipes to treat
these problems and some of them are listed below.
A mixture of raw pineapple juice, honey, cayenne pepper and salt can
be an extremely useful potion for dissolving mucous in the lungs of
patients suffering from tuberculosis. A few other studies have showed
that the raw extracts from pineapple can aid in dissolving mucous five
times faster than regular cough syrups. It also increases the recovery
time by four times and also doesn’t come with side effects like that of
putting you off to sleep.
Wondering what is that one thing that makes pineapple an ideal choice
for cold and cough problems? Because it comes from the bromeliad
family, pineapple is loaded with bromelain which is an enzyme that has
the ability to fight nasal inflammation and improve digestion. Bromelain
is helpful for upper respiratory tract infection like that of sinusitis
and bronchitis. It is also packed with a generous quantity of manganese
which is responsible for the formation of connective tissue and also
improves functions of the nerves. All this makes it a powerful fruit for
curing coughs and fighting mucous buildup in the lungs and nasal sinus.
It is an excellent source of vitamin C which helps in fighting free
radicals and aids in the effective functioning of the airways. Many just
prefer taking extra vitamin C or drinking orange juice but only a few
consider having a pineapple or its juice. Because of the presence of
bromelain, pineapple has been proved to be more effective in the
suppression of coughs and the loosening of mucous.
Here’s an all-natural DIY pineapple cough syrup that you must try
during your cold and cough days. Gather the following ingredients for
making this remarkable potion.
Ingredients
- 2 thick slices of fresh pineapple without peel but core intact
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (can be avoided for children)
- One small piece of fresh ginger; peeled and sliced
- Juice of 1 lemon
How to make the potion
Chop the pineapple roughly; remember to include the core which is the
healthiest part of the fruit. Put all other ingredients along with the
chopped pineapple in a blender or a food processor and blend everything
until you get a homogeneous mixture. Strain the mixture using a mesh
strainer to get a smoother syrup. Refrigerate this and consume it as and
when required for best results and relief.
