7 amazing health benefits of eating pineapple




 

5. A stronger immune system and less inflammation

People have been using pineapples as a holistic medicine for hundreds of years. The vitamins, minerals and enzymes together work exceptionally well to strengthen the immune system and suppress inflammation. These benefits have been extensively studied in children.

One nine-week study included 98 healthy children who did not eat pineapple, some pineapple (140 g), or much pineapple (280 g) every day. The two groups who ate pineapple showed a significant reduction in the incidence of viral and bacterial infections.

Even more interestingly, the children who ate more pineapple had almost 4 times more disease-fighting white blood cells than the other two groups.
