Pineapple is primarily associated with tropical holidays. Some call it the healthiest fruit in the world! Why does it deserve this moniker? Pineapple is a rich source of folic acid. In addition, it contains fiber that supports the work of the digestive system. Other important substances contained in this fruit are potassium, zinc, iron, copper, calcium, phosphorus, as well as bromelain - a plant enzyme that breaks down protein. Pineapple should therefore become a permanent part of our diet - it has nutritional and healing properties. It soothes inflammation of the joints and accelerates wound healing. It contains many plant compounds that have an antioxidant effect. 

This fruit is also rich in phenols - a source of antioxidants that cleanse the body of toxins and prevent oxidative stress. Pineapple is immensely popular in alternative medicine because it helps treat respiratory infections. So it's worth reaching for it when we don't feel well.
