Onto a very prickly subject of a special and oh so prickly fruit : Mr Pineapple:
My dad’s long time friend, a health geek, recently exposed his elixir of youth, to be a simple and very widely available fruit, the PINEAPPLE.
He cited health benefits such as taut skin, better assimilation of heavy foods, slimmer frame and better overall health.
When someone makes such ludicrous statement about such a simple fruit. It makes you take notice. I for one, started to scrutinize his skin, and his health and his general look. Well, simply put, it is WORKING WONDERS FOR HIM. He is CLOSE TO 60, has very little fine lines or saggy skin on his face and neck, he is in great shape and can cycle for miles in this very hot weather, he speaks very well meaning his mental state is very sound. MY GOD! IS PINEAPPLE A HIDDEN GEM IN OUR KITCHENS?
I for one have been on this natural juice regiment for about a month. Working with my dad means my health is top priority because he cares for his workers productivity and likes us to in prime health. Well, my personally experience taking pineapple juice on a daily basis, was that I didn’t feel that lethargic initially and I didn’t wake up in the mornings with bloatedness. The pineapple juice gave me mentally stamina that lasted for hours and made me hungry very quickly. I was eating and eating and eating…. I don’t think that’s the intended effect but I think it helped digest my food really fast, as a result I got hungry faster.
The end results after a month of daily pineapple juice ( I occassionally mixed in some apple and celery or beet root ) was increased resistence to the common sickness.I fought off sickness, still got sick but the duration of sickness was much shorter. Beware though, your stool can become pretty soft and the pineapple juice can make you hungrier or curb your appetite. The end result was that I did lose some weight and my stomach was feeling a tad bit too acidic. My recommendation is not a daily dose of P J, but to take it on days when you have had too much oily and meaty foods. This juice will aid in digestion.
With regards to the beauty part, pineapple enzyme was what BIOSKIN used on me when I went for facials. So you go FIGURE<!!!
I think I will try some pineapple masks soon….. Oh la Lah
