Before you watch the video below let’s talk about pineapple and 3 of its health promoting benefits.

Pineapple is not only delicious due to its juiciness and sweetness but it’s also a great:

• antioxidant food due to its high vitamin C content as well as manganese (Mn) (a trace mineral important cofactor for a number of oxidative enzymes e.g. superoxide dismutase)

P.S. You know what else I like about pineapple? It’s one of those foods that make your body recognize when you’ve had enough, it gives a strong taste change and it can actually burn your mouth if you continue to eat past that signal. This is called an aliesthetictaste change.
