Health benefits of pineapple

March 12th, 2009

To give your health a boost and improve your healing ability start drinking fresh pineapple juice daily or eating fresh pineapple chunks daily.  Pineapples contain both Bromelain and Vitamin C.  Bromelain is a natural anti inflammatory and encourages healing.  Pineapple is particularly good for people suffering from arthritis and joint pain.  Vitamin C is an antioxidant and protects the body from free radical damage and is an immune system booster.  When picking your pineapple pick a sweet smelling pineapple, most people go by look but this is not the correct way to pick pineapples.  Bad pineapples will give off an unpleasant smell.

Cutting a pineapple- Remove the top of the pineapple with a sharp knife, cut the pineapple lengthwise into 4 wedge sections.  Cut off the skin and eyes.  Put the four sections on a board and chop them up into smaller pieces.  Eat the pineapple when finished fresh or juice it, whichever you fancy.
