📌 Nutritional benefits:
🔥Pineapple fruit contains a proteolytic enzyme called bromelain that digests food by breaking down protein. Bromelain also has anti-inflammatory, anti-clotting and anti-cancer properties. Studies have shown that consumption of pineapple regularly helps fight against arthritis, indigestion and worm infestation.

Fresh pineapple is an excellent source of antioxidant vitamins plus lots of vitamin-C.

Love steamed carrots. How do you like to eat carrots? Tell us in the comments.

BRAIN FOOD: CARROTS⠀

Carrots are root vegetables that contain prebiotic building blocks for your microbiome, supplying excellent materials and helping to build stronger cells. Carrots are high in beta-carotene. ⠀
⠀
The brain is largely fat and, of course, is very metabolically active and, hence, highly oxygenated. Carotenoids are known to inhibit lipid peroxidation. ⠀
⠀
The brain is also clearly subject to inflammation, and carotenoids are known to be potent anti-inflammatory agents.⠀
