Pineapples are normally deemed unhealthy by health professionals and diet experts, due to the high levels of sugar in the tropical fruit.
Highly perishable (should be consumed within two days if stored at room temperature and within about a week if refrigerated), the fruit has surprising varied nutritional and health benefits!
Because of the high sugar levels, pineapples can be consumed in the form of juice to avail its benefits without adding extra sugar to it.
Did you know? Bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme contained in pineapples, has been shown to be an effective anti-inflammatory, muscle relaxant and digestive aid.
It also includes chemicals that interfere with the growth of tumor cells, making pineapple a good food to prevent cancer.
