A Pineapple a Day - Keeps the Doctor Away!

Pineapples look good! Pineapples taste good! Pineapples do you good!


Boost your natural health with pineapple containing bromelain, which has excellent anti-inflammatory qualities.


Bromelain is very effective in treating bruises, sprains and strains. Because of its anti-inflammatory effect it is useful in soothing muscles which are sore due to inflammation, and is said to be helpful in relieving rheumatoid arthritis. Fresh pineapple may also relieve indigestion, because the bromelain breaks down the amino acids bonded in proteins.


Because of its high vitamin C content, fresh pineapple can help to protect the body from free radicals. Many people take vitamin C to protect themselves from, or lessen the severity of colds and related afflictions.


It has been said that a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down, but this is certainly not true of fresh pineapples. They do not require added sugar because they are delicious on their own. Furthermore, it seems that the heat used in the canning process, considerably reduces the bromelain content, so stick to fresh pineapples.


Pineapples are almost universally available and they are not particularly expensive, because they are large enough to provide a treat for the whole family. So add them to your diet, either as whole fruit, or blended into a refreshing and rewarding drink. Pineapples are so tasty that you should not need any persuading, but if you do remember their high bromelain and vitamin content is a healthy bonus!
