When we hear the word “carbs” we usually think of something that will make us gain weight like crazy. But pineapples contain the good carbs. The carbohydrates found in pineapple are mostly simple sugars like sucrose and glucose.
Vitamins and minerals
Pineapples are the source of many vitamins and minerals. Some of the most predominant vitamins and nutrients in pineapple are vitamin C, copper, folate and manganese. All of these vitamins and nutrients are superb for your health.
Improves immunity
The immune system is what fights off disease and repairs damage. According to human studies conducted at the School of Nutrition, Philippine Women’s University in Manila, Philippines, eating pineapple or taking a bromelain supplement may shorten the duration of sinus infections, reduce inflammation, prevent the formation of blood clots, and stimulate immune responses, especially in children. So if you are a parent you definitely want to encourage your child to eat pineapple.
Improves stomach health
Unfortunately, we have more bacteria in our bodies than cells. Most of those bacteria live in the stomach. Many health benefits come from having a healthy stomach flora. Beneficial stomach bacteria stimulates digestion of pineapple, causing minimal bloating and gas.
