Eat pineapple?

Pineapple is juicy, sweet and fresh, its nutritional value makes it an excellent fruit for health.

 

Health magazine highlights three good reasons to include more pineapple in your diet, your health thanks!

 

It is rich in vitamin C, 47.8 g of vitamin C per 100 g, which is equivalent to more than 100% of the recommended daily dose. This vitamin C, in addition to strengthening the immune system, acts as an antioxidant preventing premature aging and diseases such as cancer or cardiovascular disease.

 

 

And it may even contribute to the 'line'. One study found that people who do not consume enough vitamin C burn about 25% fewer calories when they train, so consuming this fruit rich in vitamin C can help you burn more calories.

 

Contains manganese, 75% of the recommended daily allowance. This mineral, along with vitamin C, is necessary for the creation of collagen, a component of the skin that prevents loss of elasticity and wrinkles.

 

Contains Bromelain, an enzyme that contributes to good protein digestion, potentially reducing symptoms such as swollen belly, indigestion and fatigue. It is because of this enzyme that it is not a good idea to add pineapple with gelatine, as this will break the gelatin into blocks of amino acids, preventing it from solidifying. And it is also this enzyme that makes when the pineapple is added to the meat to be able to leave more tender.

 

Pineapple fiber also helps maintain regular bowel function, preventing constipation.
