Pineapple peels are one of the main ingredients in pineapple tea and they come packed with lots of healthy nutrients. However, most people throw away pineapple peels not knowing how awesome they are. Pineapple tea is a way to switch things up and enjoy great health benefits at the same time. Here are some of the most common ones.

Helps with digestion

Not only can pineapple help make your digestive system work smoother, but it can also help with constipation, intestinal parasites, and IBS syndrome. Pineapple peels contain a digestive enzyme called bromelain. This is what helps break down protein molecules in the digestive system. When these molecules break down, they become easier to absorb across the digestive tracts.

Anti-inflammatory

Bromelain can also help the body deal with inflammation. It reduces the swelling after an injury or surgery, and its anti-inflammatory properties can help ease sinuses. Pineapple peels also have a lot of vitamin C and that combined with Bromelain can prove very effective when fighting and preventing infection.

Foods That Fight Inflammation

Can help prevent cancer

Some studies have shown that the amounts of antioxidants, vitamin C, bromelain, and manganese in pineapple skins can help prevent cancer as well as fight tumours. Uncontrolled cell growth is what cancer is all about. Its progression is often associated with chronic inflammation and oxidative stress. Pineapple tea helps reduce inflammation and minimize oxidative stress.

Fertility

Women who want to get pregnant usually pay very close attention to what they’re putting into their bodies. Pineapple and its skins are beloved because of their bromelain and beta carotene factor. The nutrients in pineapple skins can reduce inflammation which, in turn, it can help the body come with the most ideal environment in the womb for implantation. The most delicious way to get these helpful nutrients is via pineapple tea.

Can help with arthritis 

Bromelain once again is here to apply its anti-inflammatory prowess in people suffering from joint pain and arthritis. Pineapple will start fighting the sources of pain directly. Yes, there are many different kinds of arthritis but the most common complaint is joint inflammation. Pineapple tea can be very effective in helping relieve some of the pain.

Arthritis And Ways Of Managing It

Has disease-fighting antioxidants 

Not only are pineapple peels loaded with helpful nutrients, but they’re also packed with beneficial antioxidants. These are molecules that can fight oxidative stress, where the body has too many free radicals roaming around. Additionally, these free radicals mingle with the cells in the body and cause the damage linked to inflammation. Pineapple tea has antioxidants called phenolic acids and flavonoids which are great at battling oxidative stress.

Helps speed recovery after strenuous workouts or surgery

Drinking pineapple tea can help decrease the time it’ll take your body to recover from a strenuous exercise or surgery. Again, this is in large part because of bromelain’s anti-inflammatory properties. Like it was mentioned above, this enzyme can help reduce the bruising, swelling, and inflammation caused by strenuous exercises or surgery.

Easy to integrate into a diet

Not only is this an easy way of integrating pineapple peels into your diet, but it’s a sweet and convenient way too. They’re considerably cheap and can be found all year round. You can replace your morning coffee with pineapple tea for a healthier breakfast beverage alternative.

How To Prepare

Ingredients

  • Ppineapple peels (washed)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 piece of fresh ginger (peeled and cut into chunks)
  • 1 stick cinnamon stick (optional)
  • 10 cups water

Method

Add the cups of water to a large pot then add the pineapple peels, brown sugar, cinnamon stick, and vanilla extract and let it boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let it cool for 10 minutes. Pour the tea through a strainer/sieve then serve.
