PINEAPPLE IS FINE


Pineapple has high enzyme bromelain and the antioxidant vitamin C, both of which play a major role in the body's healing. The benefits of this tropical fruit can be achieved through eating fresh, canned, or frozen pineapple or by drinking its juice. Pineapple is loaded with vitamins and minerals.

Its nutrients include calcium, potassium, fibre, and vitamin C. Besides, it is low in fat and cholesterol.

Pineapple helps to build healthy bones. Pineapples are rich in manganese, a trace mineral that is needed for the body to build bone and connective tissues.

Many people often take extra vitamin C or drink extra orange juice when they have a cold, few consider eating pineapple. The benefits of pineapple when one has a cold or cough are the same as the benefits of orange juice. The bromelain contained in fresh pineapple can relieve indigestion as well.

Pineapples are good for one's oral health, because of its high vitamin C content.
