 Pineapple Juice

Aside from being tasty and beautiful, pineapple is also a healthy fruit that has long been used in holistic medicine. You might be pleased to hear that a cup of pineapple chunks (165G approx.) provides 131% of the recommended daily allowance of Vitamin C!

This is good news for anyone, especially those of us who tend to be anemic. How you ask? Vitamin C aids in the absorption of iron. Add this gorgeous, juicy, tropical fruit to your diet and your iron absorption is sorted. Hooray!

For the rest of you, Vitamin C is also essential for tissue repair. Eating pineapple can therefore improve skin health, bone and teeth health. It is important for immune system function, and also works as a great antioxidant to battle chronic inflammation and disease.
