What are the amazing benefits of pineapple? | Munipalli akshay paul |

Who can resist the juicy flavours and smells of amazingly looking pineapples? Definitely not me.

Pineapples are mostly grown in Costa Rica and their season lasts from March till June, so I am going to prepare my freezer this weekend and cut some pineapples into chunks to have the best quality fruits throughout the year for those smoothies.

Here are some nutrition facts about pineapple:

  1. Raw facts → A cup of raw pineapple (~165g) contains just 82 kcal, it delivers 22g of carbs and 2.3g of fiber as well as plenty of vitamins and minerals:
  • 79 mg of vitamin C (131% of RDI)
  • 95 IU of vitamin A
  • 21 mg of calcium
  • 19 mg of magnesium
  • 12 mg of phosphorus
  • 180 mg of potassium
  • 29 mcg of folate

2. The vitamin C health effects.

As you can see from the above Pineapple’s nutrition facts it is packed with vitamin C which:

  • promotes collagen production and may protect the skin from damage.
  • The cap filled with raw pineapple has more than recommended daily intake of vitamin C so you can be sure that it will help you with boosting your immune system.
  • also helps in fighting the infection and reducing allergies.
  • supports formation of collagen in the bones.
  • keep eyes healthy due to antioxidant effects
  • prevent health loss
  • promotes fertility

3. Bromelain effects.

Pineapples are also filled with bromelain → a protein digesting enzyme which can help us combat the following health issues:

  • pancreatic insufficiency
  • diarrhoea
  • flatulence
  • reduce risk of colon cancer
  • inflammatory bowel disease
  • osteoarthritis
  • inflammatory pain
  • coronary heart disease
  • fatigue
  • muscle damage
  • sinus swelling
  • blood clots

Caution: because of the bromelain’s antiplatelet effects on the blood, be careful with pineapple consumption if you are taking blood thinning medication or you are menstruating.

4. Pineapple is one of the healthiest fruits, it is low in sugar so it is safe for people with diabetes.

5. Vitamins A and B help with improving nail health.

6. Some scientists claim that pineapple can boost the quality of sleep.

Final word. It should not be added as a pizza topping. Pineapple is a berry, who puts berry on a pizza?

Eat your pineapple raw or in the smoothie.
