The Health Benefits of Pineapples

Many people love pineapple.
I love to eat pineapple too. 
It's so juicy and can satisfy my sweet cravings
as effectively as a chocolate bar.
Pineapples are rich in vitamins and minerals
including calcium, potassium, fiber and Vitamin C.
It is low in fat and cholesterol.

Pineapple helps build healthy bones.
This is because pineapples are rich in manganese,
a trace mineral that is required to strengthen bones
and connective tissues. 
Enjoy the health benefits of pineapple
by consuming the fresh fruit juice, is just as healthy.
One cup of pineapple provides 73 percent
of the daily recommended intake of manganese.
 
Pineapple consumption can boost the growth and development of bones in young people
and strengthen bones among the elderly. 

It helps suppress coughs and
good in treating cold as well.
