Most of us have become conditioned to immediately picking up a bottle of
cough syrup the minute we feel the sizzling sensation in our throat, signaling
the oncoming cough.
While these over-the-counter expectorants work well, we often tend to forget
that just by consuming the correct foods, we can prevent many diseases and
also eliminate the need for medications in many situations….So does juice
from pineapples really compare to conventional over-the-counter syrups ?
Does it help when it comes to fighting cough? ��
Like many fruits, pineapples are rich in vitamin c, which boosts the immune
system, as well as vitamin A and various B vitamins. This will of course be
beneficial whenever the body is trying to fight off an infection. It also contains
minerals like potassium, manganese and magnesium, which act in tandem with
the vitamins the juice contains to strengthen your body’s response to illness.
Pineapple juice, however, is unique in that it contains bromelain as well, an
enzyme with antioxidant properties which helps fight inflammation in the
respiratory system and clears the sinuses.
Pineapple juice can treat most persistent cough, as long as it isn't as a result of
pneumonia.
