PINEAPPLE AND GINGER DELIGHT
Benefits
*Pineapple
Immune Booster and Disease Fighter

More Bang for Your Buck
Pineapple is a nutrient-dense food, rather than an energy-dense food. This means that it provides a lot of nutritional benefit for a small amount of calories. Nutrient-dense foods can assist with weight loss. They help you feel full without adding too many calories, and provide you with fiber and a number of essential vitamins and minerals.

Pineapple also contains bromelain, an enzyme that may help to treat indigestion, wounds, infected sinuses and arthritis. However, the amount of bromelain in pineapple is not enough to provide medicinal effects
