PINEAPPLE

The pineapple is not only a delicious fruit with firm, refreshing flesh, and from which a juice with thirst-quenching properties is extracted, but it also has very interesting properties when it comes to health. In addition to aiding digestion and being able to promote healing and reduce pain, pineapple is a powerful anti-inflammatory fruit owing to the considerable presence of vitamin C.

Pineapple is rich in flavonoids and phenolic acids, two antioxidants that protect our cells from free radicals that can promote the onset of chronic disease states. Bromelain, a set of enzymes present in pineapple (Ananas comosus), has been shown in clinical studies to possess remarkable anti-edema and anti-thrombotic properties, thus providing valuable support in degenerative ophthalmic diseases through its beneficial action on the microcirculation.
