The health benefits of raw pineapple include:
• Pineapples contain bromelain - a powerful digestive enzyme that can destroy bad bacteria and parasites. They help digest protein, and may prevent the formation of blood clots.
• A natural anti-inflammatory bromelain reduces swelling and inflammation in the body. Beneficial for arthritis suffers, and to promote healing after injury.
• An excellent source of the natural antioxidant vitamin C, pineapples help fight off colds, and the bromelain loosens mucus, helps cure coughs, and fight throat infections.
• Pineapples are good for your bones. They are a good source of manganese, a mineral required for healthy bones.
• Raw pineapple juice is a cure for nausea, and may be useful during pregnancy.
