Very often we read dietary advice on eating certain foods that can 'burn' our body fat, as a quick and practical way to lose weight and reshape our bodies.

We asked our nutritionist Valentina what she thought, and here is her answer:

What is the answer? No! There is no such thing as a fat-burning food. But why do these myths about pineapple exist?

In fact, pineapple contains an enzyme, bromelain. This substance is a proteolytic enzyme with an effect on protein digestion. But that's not all! It has an excellent anti-inflammatory effect and helps in the drainage of extra-cellular fluids.

Therefore, it can be helpful in counteracting cellulite (which is an inflammatory process) and water retention (which is an accumulation of extra-cellular fluid).
 

It is important to establish a phased and well-followed nutritional path. At our Lugano centre you can book an appointment with our nutritionist Valentina, do not hesitate to call us!
