The pineapple fruit was discovered by Columbus 500 years ago. He received these fruits as a barter item from the Indians living in the Caribbean islands. He ate this fruit and realised its taste and made a way to increase it commercially.
The people of the island used the juice of the pineapple
fruit as a medicine to relieve stomach bloating and stomach upset caused by
meat during feasts, and the women there rubbed this fruit on their skin to get
smooth skin.
It is said that warriors also used the flesh of the pineapple
fruit to heal their war wounds. Biochemists have made many rare scientific
observations. The pineapple fruit contains an enzyme called bromelain.
It is a protein-degrading enzyme.
This enzyme is found in the stem and leaves apart from the
fruit. Bromelain breaks down protein compounds in food into small peptides and
amino acids, making the food we eat easier to digest. Bromelain breaks down
hard tissues on the skin surface or skin area and turns it into soft or smooth
skin.
It also removes problems such as rashes on the skin. When
used to heal wounds or ulcers, it prevents the effect of harmful bacteria in
them and removes damaged tissues and helps the wound heal quickly. Bromelain is
also said to be an unparalleled medicine for heart disease.
Thrombosis occurs when a blood clot, caused by a protein
called fibrin in the blood vessels narrows the blood vessel and blocks blood
flow. This clot is said to be the cause of death for people. Heart attacks
occur due to blood clots in the blood vessels that carry blood to the heart, and
strokes or numbness occur due to clots in the blood vessels that go to the
brain.
Bromelain breaks down the blood vessels in large blood vessels and removes the damage caused by it and creates smooth blood flow. When a blood clot or protein clot occurs in the blood vessels, the amount of protein decomposing agent in the blood decreases due to the breakdown of plasmin, which naturally prevents this.
In such a situation, bromelain stimulates plasminogen and
increases the production of plasmin. The increase in plasmin breaks down the
blood clot or fibrin clot.
Bromelain not only prevents heart attacks but also acts as an
allergy reliever. Research suggests that it is more effective than aspirin.
Along with bromelain, protease inhibitors are also found in the stem parts of
the pineapple fruit.
It normally carries protein digesters to the blood and
digestive tract. Their actions are always under control or supervision. That
is, protease inhibitors control the rapid action of the protease.
In the military, protease inhibitors were also given as a
remedy for blood wounds along with antibiotics and it is said that it can
prevent the impact of bacteria by breaking down blood clots or blood clots
caused by blood.
By eating pineapple fruit with its excellent medicinal
properties every day after meals, we can try to prevent heart disease, which is
a life-threatening disease in today's world.
