Health benefits of Pineapple
✓Loaded With Vitamins and Minerals
In addition to large amounts of vitamin C and manganese, pineapples add to your daily value of vitamin B6, copper, thiamin, folate, potassium, magnesium, niacin, riboflavin, and iron.
✓Good for Digestion
Pineapples are the only known food source of bromelain, a combination of enzymes that digest protein. That’s why pineapple works as a meat tenderizer: The bromelain breaks down the protein and softens the meat. In your body, bromelain makes it easier for you to digest food and absorb it.
✓Have Antioxidant property
Pineapples are rich in flavonoids and phenolic acids, two antioxidants that protect your cells from free radicals that can cause chronic disease.
✓Anti-Inflammatory and Analgesic Properties
*Bromelain, the digestive enzyme in pineapple, has anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties.
*This helps when you have an infection, like sinusitis, or an injury, like a sprain or burn. It also offsets the joint pain of osteoarthritis. The vitamin C in pineapple juice also keeps inflammation levels low.
✓Post Workout Recovery
The anti-inflammatory benefits of the bromelain in pineapple can help muscles recover quicker and keep you from feeling sore.
