If you are troubled by cough during winter season, then consume pineapple instead of medicines. This advice is not given by us but by an Ayurveda doctor. According to the doctor, pineapple works like a medicine for cough because it contains a wonderful enzyme called bromelain. This enzyme helps reduce inflammation, loosen mucus, suppress cough, and improve breathing.
Ayurveda expert Dr. Deeksha Bhavsar Savaliya has shared a video on her social media handle, in which she has told about the benefits of eating pineapple in cough. In this video, the doctor also told how much and how pineapple should be consumed. Apart from this, he also told other ways to get relief from cough.
