May Help Maintain a Healthy Weight
Studies have shown pineapple juice may help people maintain a healthy weight. One study found drinking pineapple juice regularly may even help those who are struggling with obesity lose weight.3El-Shazly, Samir A, et al. ‘Physiological and Molecular Study on the Anti-Obesity Effects of Pineapple (Ananas Comosus) Juice in Male Wistar Rat.’ Food Science and Biotechnology, Springer Singapore, 11 Apr. 2018, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6170270
The reason pineapple juice may be effective at maintaining a healthy weight is the way it reduces the accumulation of body fat. It also helps reduce fat deposition in the liver and blood lipids. This may make the fruit juice beneficial, as it appears to target the harmful fat around internal organs.
