The pineapple is not only from the outside a real beauty, but has also internally a lot to offer, that we shouldn’t miss:
Pineapple contains:
- Many vitamins and minerals (vitamin C, E, biotin, provitamin A, niacin, riboflavin, thiamine, potassium, calcium, manganese, phosphorus, iron, zinc, and iodine)
- the enzyme bromelain
- Vanillin, serotonin and tryptophan
The pineapple with its ingredients is therefore good for the following:
- it is strongly anti-inflammatory (e.g., it helps even with a sore throat if you gargle pineapple juice and it is great for colds and fever)
- Bromelain functions blood-thinning and therefore it is good for the cardiovascular system
- it is a perfect nervefood and stress reducer that improves mental and physical performance and acts as an antidepressant
- is strongly alkaline and helps reducing acidity
- it detoxifies and supports fat digestion
- is great for the skin
- it supports the immune system
