Eating pineapples can improve your immunity as they are highly rich in Vitamin C. A strong immune system will keep most diseases and infections at bay, ensuring that you don’t fall ill.

Strengthens your bones

Pineapple are extremely great for your bones as they  contain manganese, an ingredient that is vital for the healthy development of your bones.

Good for diabetics

Diabetics who are frustrated about not being able to indulge in sweets can find some comfort in eating small amounts of pineapple. It has a medium GI meaning that it does not cause a spike in your blood sugar levels quickly. That said, make sure you don’t eat too much of the fruit and indulge in healthier alternatives like peas and lentils.

Pineapple is a source of a digestive enzyme called bromelain which helps neutralize the acids in your stomach thus preventing acidity. It also contains some amount of fibre which helps clear the food stuck in your colon.
