7. Enhances Blood Flow and RBC Synthesis

Pineapple peels are a good source of iron and magnesium, which may help the body make more red blood cells and maintain good blood circulation. As a result, your blood oxygen levels will rise and your risk of anemia will decrease.

The health benefits of pineapple skin tea include promoting normal blood flow and protecting against iron deficiency problems.

Pineapple Skin Tea Recipe: What You Need:

The peel of one ripe pineapple (be sure to wash it well).

For added taste and health advantages, you may optionally add one cinnamon stick.

4-to 5-quarts of water

One spoonful of honey, if desired

One lemon's juice (not required)

Here are the steps:

First, get the pineapple skins ready:

After giving the pineapple a good wash to get rid of any dirt or pesticides, peel off the skin. Separate the fruit and take off the peel. Put aside the fruit for later.

Brown the Shells:

Put the pineapple peels and water into a big saucepan. Simmer the water for 20-30 minutes after bringing it to a boil, in order to extract the nutrients from the skins.

Toss in the cinnamon, if desired:

While the pineapple peels are boiling, you may add a cinnamon stick for added taste and health benefits. In addition to imparting a warm, spicy flavor, cinnamon amplifies the anti-inflammatory effects of the tea.

Filter the Fluid:

Take the pot from the stove after the tea is simmering, then filter the liquid to remove the solids and skins.

Optional: Add sugar

For an extra burst of flavor, try adding honey or a little lemon juice. Incorporating these extras into the tea also makes it more antioxidant and helps the immune system.
