LONDON: Pineapples don't burn fat directly, but they're one of many foods that help your body burn fat efficiently. Like many other fruits, pineapples are rich in vitamin C, a precursor to a molecule essential to fat oxidation. Raw pineapples are a more potent source of vitamin C and are lower in total calories than processed varieties.
Vitamin C and Fat Oxidation
The body needs vitamin C to burn fat. The less vitamin C in your diet, the more likely you are to have excess fatty deposits on your body. A four-week study at the University of Arizona State has shown that this beneficial effect of vitamin C does not lead to reduced fat in the short term, but suggests it could be effective at trimming waistlines over longer periods.
According to the US Department of Agriculture, one whole raw pineapple contains 432 mg of vitamin C. This breaks down to about 36 mg of vitamin C per 3.5-ounce serving, just over half the recommended daily intake. The same amount of canned pineapple, however has only 7 mg of vitamin C, just one-fifth as much as raw pineapple. A diet that includes raw, unprocessed pineapple on a regular basis ensures consistently high vitamin C intake, which promotes fat burning.
Raw pineapple has another feature that helps you keep the weight off. It is often included with other fruits and vegetables on Websites such as Women's Health as a "negative-calorie food." The theory is that certain foods take more calories to digest than they contain and therefore eating them actually has a net negative effect on your total calorie consumption. While this idea is not supported by scientific findings, it's true that raw pineapple has significantly fewer total calories than canned pineapple packaged in sugary syrups.
The edible part of raw pineapple is approximately 86 percent water according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. As with many other raw fruits and vegetables, this feature allows the food to create feelings of fullness or satiety without consuming many calories. This might be the true secret of the seeming negative-calorie effect. You can eat large amounts of raw fruits and vegetables---including pineapple---and lose weight with fewer hunger pangs.
Medline Plus points out that pineapples are also the primary source of bromelain, a natural enzyme with medicinal properties. Bromelain has been used for centuries to treat indigestion and inflammation. It is also used as a meat tenderizer because it aids in the digestion of proteins. A pineapple-rich diet promotes digestive health, which could promote efficient metabolism of fats.
