pineapple natural diuretic?????

[The Wolf]

I just went to the pharmacy and asked about natural diuretics and the lady told me just take once slice of pineapple at 16.00 and one in the evening and its the best natural diuretic. I thought it was weird so I checked it out.

Has anyone heard this before and would it harm a keto diet?

PINEAPPLE


The enzyme bromalain present in a pineapple helps to digest food. Pineapple is a natural diuretic and prevents water retention. It is effective in relieving abdominal pain and gas. It also contains Vitamin C and manganese and helps prevent the formation of blood clots. It is very good for heart patients. Pineapples offer a source of iron and calcium. Just less than four ounces of fresh Pineapple contain about 60 calories.The enzyme bromalain present in a pineapple helps to digest food. Pineapple is a natural diuretic and prevents water retention.

Any diuretic effect from pineapple is going to be pretty mild. No where near what you can achieve by hyper-hydrating for a few days and then cutting your water before getting onstage.

As far as the keto question goes - Pineapple is fruit (carbs) and reducing/eliminating carbs is what makes ketosis happen.

Save the pineapple until AFTER the show and have some on your pizza along with some canadian bacon....

if your looking for a mild natural duretic that won't effect ketosis much try
celery, parsley, onion, fennel and asparagus soup just made with a simple vegtable stock as a meal addition. SHould be better than pineapple and nearly no sugars, you can even replace a meal with this if you are really bloated up I can give you a recipe if you want to give it a go.

hope this helps
