Disaccharidases are enzymes that are responsible for breaking down complex sugars, such as lactose, into simple sugars, such as glucose. This makes the sugars more easily absorbable by the intestines. A disaccharidase deficiency can lead to a whole host of gastrointestinal symptoms that include such maladies as diarrhea, bloating, or borborygmi (also known as stomach rumbling). These symptoms are very similar to the symptoms caused by food allergies and food intolerances, so it is easy to misdiagnose a disaccharidase deficiency. You can improve your disaccharidase concentration by consuming guava and pineapple.
Including pineapple and guava fruit in your diet doesn’t just improve your disaccharidase content and remove some of your digestive ailments. They also improve a variety of other conditions:
- Pineapple and guava possess various biological activities that include anti-cancer and antibacterial properties.
- Pineapple and guava fruits have a wealth of antioxidants that kill free radicals and reduce inflammation.
- Pineapple and guava fruits improve bone strength.
