Nutritional Benefit of Pineapple:

According to article by Mr.Ryan Raman (MS.RD) on 26 May 2018, published on “Healthline”, Pineapple

1. Loaded with nutrients. Pineapples are packed with a variety of vitamins and minerals. They are especially rich in vitamin C and manganese.

2. Reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Pineapples are a good source of antioxidants, which may reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers. Many of the antioxidants in pineapple are bound, so they may have longer lasting effects.

3. Its enzymes can ease digestion. Pineapples contain bromelain, a group of digestive enzymes that breaks down proteins. This may aid digestion, especially in those with pancreatic insufficiency.

4. May help reduce the risk of cancer. Pineapple contains compounds that reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, both of which are linked to cancer. One of these compounds is the enzyme bromelain, which may stimulate cell death in certain cancer cells and aid white blood cell function.

5. May boost immunity and suppress inflammation. Pineapples have anti-inflammatory properties that may boost the immune system.

6. May ease symptoms of arthritis. The anti-inflammatory properties of pineapple may provide short-term symptom relief for people with common types of arthritis.

7. May speed recovery after surgery or strenuous exercise. The bromelain in pineapples may reduce the inflammation, swelling, bruising and pain that occurs after surgery. Bromelain’s anti-inflammatory properties may also aid recovery after strenuous exercise by reducing tissue inflammation.
