Hello! Thank you for writing. I understand your concern. As for your alquestion I'm going to be as useful as I can. The standard dose for bromelain depends on the goal of supplementation. If the goal is to aid digestion, the standard dose is between 200 - 2,000mg, taken with a meal. If the goal of supplementation is not digestion related, does range from 200 - 800mg. Bromelain is typically taken between meals to avoid potential degradation in the stomach.There is no weight loss activity per evidence. I will suggest you to eat healthy and above all a lot of vegetables and fruits. Eating salad, spinach will do you great. They contain nitrates which are converted to nitric oxide that make vasodilatation and helps in lowering blood. Also omega 3 and six helps lowering tryglicerids( your lipids in blood). So fish and nuts are very important. Antioxidants are important too for your health. Everything that contains vit E and A is very healthy. I told you these to emphasize the effect or food in our body and the importance ti eat healthy. Portions are very important. Tey to eat less and in a healthy way. For excample: one cup of milk 1/2 banane one teaspoon of honey for breakfast.
10:00-10:30 one cup of tea 2 pieces of dry fruit
lunch one cup of beans with 60 gram cheese baked in oven , one cup of tomatoe and cucumber
17:00-17:30 one cup of berries
dinner: one cup of yogurt 2%, one banane 2 slices of chicken ham. Try to exercise. Begin with walking for 30 minutes a day. Thank you. Best regards.
