The benefits of pineapple are undeniable, but it should also be eaten in moderation. Bromelain is mainly an enzyme that tenderizes meat, meaning it aids the digestion of tough foods. Excessive consumption of pineapple can lead to its bromelain also starting to soften your lips, gums, or tongue. Overdoses of bromelain and vitamin C can lead to vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, and nausea.
Pineapple, for example, in addition to regulating cortisol production, contains bromelain, an enzyme that helps break down protein to aid digestion and reduce bloating.
