Why pineapple is so healthy - 9 Reasons

The pineapple is our favorite fruit. It is delicious, healthy - and it also causes a throat pain, a stomachache and even a bad mood.

Still, the pineapple is recommended for any diet, because it provides many nutrients: almost all vitamins, 16 minerals and trace elements - important when eating less. Its high water content supports the metabolism during weight loss and it boosts the serotonin formation - that makes a good mood. Please do not make a pure pineapple diet! In the long term, a dangerous protein deficiency can occur.

Acts against colds
