Pineapples for Constipation

Just 4 ounce of pineapple a day may be enough to cure constipation. This fruit is a source of bromelain, an enzyme that treats and prevents diarrhea caused by E. Coli bacteria.
Pineapple juice or canned pineapple won't help, however. They don't contain active bromelain.

Foods That Help Lungs

Flavonoid naringin, found in white grapefruit appears to shield the lungs from environmental toxins.

Foods rich in vitamin E may also prevent oxidative damage to the lungs.

Alternative practitioners feel that bromelain, an enzyme found in pineapples, also reduce inflammation in the airways.

Lower Cholesterol With Pineapple

Pineapple is high in pectin fiber and gum fiber which have cholesterol lowering properties and also promote healthy bowel function.

Citrus Bioflavonoids

Oranges, tangerines, lemons, limes, yellow grapefruit, papaya, pineapple, and nectarines are rich in vitamin C and citrus bioflavonoids and protect us against free-radical damage.

Citrus bioflavonoids increase intracellular levels of vitamin C, strengthen blood vessels, and maintain the collagen that forms tendons, cartilage, and ligaments.

They prevent allergies and inflammation and have also been used to prevent and treat bruising, hemorrhoids, varicose veins, and spider veins.
