Pineapple Health Benefits

At D.R.E.A.M. Wellness, one of our favorite fruit is pineapple. It is not only so refreshing and delicious, but also so good for you too. Here are some benefits of pineapple:

Contains many health-promoting compounds, minerals, and vitamins for peak health
Low in calories
No saturated fat or cholesterol
Rich source of soluble and insoluble dietary fiber, like pectin
Contains Bromelain which digests food by breaking down protein, has anti-inflammatory, anti-clotting, and anti-cancer properties, and recent studies have shown that regular consumption helps fight against arthritis, indigestion, and worm infestation
High in antioxidants, vitamin C, vitamin A, and beta-carotene

So instead of the normal fruit platter this summer, try something a little different. You can get fresh pineapple or pre-peeled at Uncle Giuseppe’s Market or any other large market. Slice it up and enjoy!
