Benefits of Pineapple
If you prefer fresh pineapple, it’s even better because it is healthier and also juicer when it’s heated. Pineapple is rich in nutrients like Vitamin C which strengthens the immune system. It’s also rich in antioxidants and fiber. I also love that it contains bromelain which reduces inflammation.
