Drink THIS juice to cure your cough concerns

The change in season has brought on the season of coughs and colds! We can already feel a slight nip in the air, and sneezes, coughs and sore throats are becoming commonplace. But here’s something at least I really didn’t know – that you could soothe your cough with pineapple juice! If you also belong to the category of people who believe that juice is not the best option to have when you are under the weather… well, wakey wakey! Pineapple juice is apparently not all that bad. Guess how I found out?

Expert’s word about pineapple juice and cough
Nutrition expert Kavita Devgan vouches for the pineapple and cough relation. Explaining the connect, she told HealthShots, “Yes, it’s correct. Pineapple juice boosts immunity and is very good for the respiratory system.”

Here are the ways pineapple can benefit your health:

• It is loaded with antioxidants, which have restorative and free radical fighting properties. That makes it a great fruit to consume when sick.
• It can help relieve bloating as it is loaded with minerals (potassium) and enzymes that help cut the bloat and detoxify the body.
• The Vitamin C in pineapple makes it a great immunity booster. It also helps protect vision. Plus enough C in diet improves in the quality of our skin, and makes it radiant.
Myth around pineapple
“Many people don’t eat this sweet fruit thinking that sweet translates to being high in calories. But the fact is that 250 gm of pineapple gives only 125 calories and even though its glycemic index is 66, which some consider high, it is so loaded in fibre that its glycemic load is only 6,” Devgan said.

Now that you know the benefits, are you set to nosh on pineapple in general, and on pineapple juice when you cough and cold come knocking at your door?
