It's looks creepy and kooky.....


It's sticky and sweet, and often tarty. It's the humble Pineapple. A fruit that is used widely and more importantly a fruit that is very positive with health giving attributes. It may be kooky to look at, but it is full of health in it's benefits. Here are the benefits of the Pineapple.



Bromelain and Pineapples

Bromelain is an enzyme abundant in Pineapples that aids digestion with protein foods. It is anti-inflammatory and is used in other purposes such as sore throat, sinusitis and perhaps gout. The findings in many studies have concluded that it can inhibit allergies also.

Vitamin C and Pineapples

Pineapples are a very good source of Vitamin C. Vitamin C is protective against the free radicals in the body that can cause many ailments. Vitamin C is fantastic against colds and flu.

Eyes and Pineapple

Pineapples are helpful in protecting eyes from macular degeneration. This is due to the high level anti-oxidants and the amounts of Vitamin C and Vitamin A.

So the pineapple has loads of potential as a health food. However, don't forget to clean your teeth afterwards as it is acidic to the teeth (not the body).
