THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF PINEAPPLE

  • Pineapple has a whopping 131% of your daily value of Vitamin C. Vitamin C is incredibly important for both immune and aid in the synthesis of collagen.
  • One medium pineapple contains about 13 grams of fibre, fibre is so incredibly important for reducing your risk of colon cancer as well as helping you manage blood sugar levels.
  • The active enzyme Bromelain found commonly in pineapple cores (eat them up!), assists us in breaking down proteins into peptides and amino acids. Bromelain has also been used to ease the symptoms of ulcerative colitis and acid reflux.
  • Bromelain has also been used to manage pain and inflammation, particularly in arthritis patients.
