Arthritis
If you’re feeling the effects of arthritis, you just might want to reach for a serving of pineapple or a bromelain supplement. That’s because some studies show that bromelain can help with arthritic pain.
“Studies show mixed results. But one study suggested that a combination of bromelain, rutoside and trypsin worked as well for reducing knee pain from osteoarthritis as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which are commonly used pain relievers,” according to the University of Maryland Medical Center.
The University of Maryland Medical Center found evidence that bromelain may help reduce pain in people with rheumatoid arthritis, though more research is needed.
So next time that arthritis acts up, dive into a pineapple treat. It just might help.
