Ease heartburn
Turmeric helps your gallbladder produce bile to break food down faster, so it doesn’t hang around in your digestive system long enough to cause uncomfortable heartburn. Dissolve some in hot water after a meal, then drink.

THE SECRET SUPERFRUIT.
Pineapples are loaded with nutrients and powerful enzymes that will benefit your health no end. The real star of the show is the enzyme bromelain, which this tropical fruit is full of.
It has powerful anti-inflammatory benefits that can have an effect on reducing arthritis and healing time from sports injuries, wounds and stings.
Bromelain can also lessen hay fever symptoms, increase the absorption of antibiotics, reduce blood clotting and some studies have shown it can even help in controlling the growth of tumours.
It also gives the metabolism a short-term boost by speeding up digestion.
Pineapple is fibre-rich, so great for digestion, and high in vitamin C, essential for a healthy immune system.
It’s a good source of thiamine, copper – essential for healthy blood cells – and potassium, which helps control blood pressure.
Don’t overdo it though, it’s quite a high-sugar fruit.
