Product Description
Pineapple (Ananas comosus) is a tropical fruit. It contains nutrients, antioxidants, and other compounds, such as enzymes that can protect against inflammation and disease. It’s commonly eaten baked, grilled, or freshly cut. Pineapple and its compounds are linked to several health benefits, including improvements in digestion, immunity, and recovery from surgery. Pineapples are a rich source of antioxidants that may reduce your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers. Pineapples contain bromelain, a group of digestive enzymes that help break down protein and aid digestion. Pineapple contains compounds such as bromelain that may have anticancer effects, although far more human studies are needed. Pineapples have anti-inflammatory properties that may help enhance your immune function. The anti-inflammatory properties of pineapple may relieve symptoms of arthritis, though more human studies are necessary. Bromelain in pineapples may reduce inflammation, swelling, and discomfort after surgery. Its anti-inflammatory properties may also aid recovery after strenuous exercise.
