"Hi, my name is Dr. Kim Makoi. I'm a holistic chiropractor in San Francisco, and this is how you do a pineapple fast for the lungs. Pineapples are very rich in nutrients, and enzymes, that have been shown to be helpful for lung health, so some people like to engage in what's called a pineapple fast, and the way you do that is very simple. You just eat as much pineapple as you like, for about three days, and you don't eat anything else, and you can go as long as ten days, on the pineapple fast, and as with any fast, you want to make sure that you're feeling well, and strong, when you undertake the fast. It's never a good idea to start a fast, if you're feeling sick, and if you are on any medications, or have any serious health concerns, make sure to consult with your physician, before starting a fast. When doing a pineapple fast, it's ok to drink as much water as you like, and it's ok to vary the way you take in the pineapple, a little bit. You don't want to cook it very much, because that would tend to destroy the enzymes, but it's ok to juice it sometimes, or to eat it sliced, and you would avoid dried pineapple, because it would probably have too much of a sugar content, to help with this kind of a fast, and that is how you do a pineapple fast for the lungs."
