7 Reasons Why You Should Be Eating Pineapple
* 7 Reasons Why You Should Be Eating Pineapple.
Long tale short,
Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have been shopping at The Boys Farmers Market in Delray Beach for years.
For what it’s worth, I always noticed but never really paid attention to the fact- that all day long, it has a guy/gal in a certain area, cutting and bagging fresh pineapples.
Anyway, about 3 months ago, I did some research-on PINEAPPLE…suffice it to say, a real eye opener!
Down below is one of the articles I found….it kinda sums-up just maybe-why you should consider “adding” pineapple to your every day diet.
By the way, no bs-here, for the past 3 months- I’ve been eating a cup or two of fresh pineapple on a daily basis- and not even once, have I had a bout-of indigestion- which prior to my pineapple “regiment” use to hit me at least 2-3 times a week!

7 reasons why you should be eating pineapple
Pineapples are one of the most popular fruits in the world and it is great that they are available all year round. They have exceptional juiciness and a vibrant tropical flavour that balances the taste of sweet and tart but most importantly, they are healthy and nutritious. Below are more reasons to love the pineapple fruit.
1-They build and maintain strong bones
Pineapples contain manganese which is a trace mineral your body needs to build bones and connective tissues.
2-They are packed with Minerals and Vitamins
Pineapples are packed with vitamin A, vitamin C, Calcium, potassium and phosphorus. They are also rich in fibre and low in fat and cholesterol which promote good health.
3-They help maintain gum health
Eating pineapples daily helps strengthen your gums which in turn will help keep your teeth healthy and strong.
4-They help alleviate Arthritis
Pineapples have anti-inflammatory properties which can ease the pain of arthritis while at the same time strengthen bones.
5-They help lower the risk of Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration is the primary cause of vision loss in adults. Including pineapples in your diet can lower the risk of this disease by about 36%.
6-They Improve digestion
Pineapples contain Bromelain which has protein digesting properties that keep the digestive tract healthy. They also neutralize fluids in the body to ensure they are not too acidic. They also help regulate secretions in the pancreas to aid in digestion.
7-They help prevent coughs and colds
Pineapples are rich in Vitamin C which gives them the ability to fight viruses that cause colds. Eating pineapples combined with the right medication for your sickness can help you recover more quickly.

It’s also great for helping with the pain from sore throats.
REMEMBER when Jeff did restaurant reviews?
Carl,
You can’t be serious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By the way, I won a couple of tickets on Jeff Eats.
The food and entertainment mix is great.
This blog is tremendous.
I sure see a ton of them.
What do you want the guy to do, write up a new restaurant every day?
For crying out loud, the Sun Sentinel with tons of writers and reporters doesn’t do that.
I guess Jeff’s Lawless story on 9/11 isn’t a review.
Best blog going.
I guess Jeff’s 9/13 Dish of the Week on Gary Woo’s isn’t a review!
You really do have to learn to read.

What the hell is this?

Right on the money.
Jeff Eats is a very unique blog.
Not the run of the mill I ate here and I ate there affair.
I thought the same thing.
I figured pineapple was full of acid and would cause indigestion.
Definitely going to buy some pineapple and give this a try.
Now I know why years ago Chinese restaurants use to serve pineapple chunks at the end of the meal.
Joyce,
Crazy as it sounds you maybe right on that Chinese comment.
Just got back from The Boys Farmers Market where I bought 3 pineapples all cut up for $3.99 a piece.
The article made a ton of sense to me, so Im going to give pineapples a shot to keep me around a drop longer.
