Nutrient Booster: Pineapple

Pineapples are a tropical fruit that is rich in vitamins, enzymes, and antioxidants. Since they contain high amounts of vitamin C and manganese, they are excellent at healing and revitalizing our immune system. Pineapples are also a source of vitamin B1, vitamin B6, and folate, all of which help maintain a healthy body. Researchers have found that multiple cells in the immune system collect vitamin C and use it to perform their task of keeping the body functioning at optimal levels. These researchers also found that supplementation of vitamin C can reduce the length of the common cold.
