Pineapple Power

Did you know that a pineapple is one of the world's most healthiest foods? In fact, one cup of fresh pineapple provides 94 percent of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin C, and pineapple also contains bromelain, a digestive enzyme that reduces inflammation and helps the body absorb protein. I definitely love pineapple, except on pizza, but I even love it more finding out these wonderful things.
