8 Impressive Health Benefits of the Pineapple

1: Availability

Don’t you hate it when you read articles about superfoods and you have no idea where you can get it from?

That’s a huge advantage of the pineapple. It’s pretty much available anywhere. It’s not complicate to get one.

Yes, it might not be the juiciest, unless you are eating it in Brazil, but you will get incredibly satisfied just from eating a bowl of fresh pineapple slices anywhere in the world.

2: Versatility

Pineapple are not just a pone size fits all. You either like the fruit raw or you can’t have it.

With pineapple it’s different. If you are not a fan of fresh slices, you can grill, roast, and stir-fry pineapple.

Bake it, blend it, ferment it, and use it as a flavor, cook with it, and the list goes on.

In fact, if you are looking for the one and only loyal and nutritious fruit, it is the pineapple.

3: Seasonality

You can have Pineapple all year round. Summer and winter. Yes winter!

Just by adding a dash of chili to grilled pineapple slices, you will enjoy warmth and calmness like nothing else.

Certainly keeps the cold away, clears your nostrils, and tastes great too.

4: Nutrients

One cup of pineapples contains:

82 calories
21 g of carbohydrates (incl. 16 gr sugar and 2.3 gr fiber)
0.89 g of protein
0.2 g fat

The pineapple is loaded with Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Calcium and Iron.

100g of pineapple contain around 3% potassium. Potassium helps with osteoporosis, high blood pressure and kidney stones.

5: Vitamin C

Aside from the sweet-smelling fragrance of the pineapple, it is super filling and will supply more than the recommended daily dose of vitamin C you need. This is one fruit with impressive health benefits that anyone can enjoy – children and adults alike.

6: Bromelain

That is definitely one of the most impressive health benefits of the pineapple. The pineapple is the only fruit containing the chemical Bromelain.

This compound is a digestive enzyme that is capable of breaking down long amino chains in proteins.

So instead of taking Bromelain as a supplement (which is also used as meat tenderizer), try some pineapples slices or juice.

It tastes good, boosts the nutritional value, and takes the stress out of your digestive system.

7: Anti-Inflammatory

Did you know: Eating pineapple after surgery can reduce the rate of inflammation and trigger quick healing? It’s the Bromelain that is available exclusively in pineapple that shows these inflammatory effects and even has anti-cancerous properties as well (1)

Pineapple also helps with coughs, sinus inflammation, and helps expel mucus for easy breathing.

8: Reduces Water Retention

If you ever wake up in the morning and have swollen feet due to water retention, you can try adding pineapples to your diet rather than taking a bunch of pills. Pineapple is also a natural way to start losing weight and be mindful, you will lose water, not fat.
