A Simple Pineapple - MUST Read
The pineapple is a member of the
bromeliad family. It is extremely rare that bromeliads produce edible
fruit. The pineapple is the only available edible bromeliad today.
It
is a multiple fruit. One pineapple is actually made up of dozens of
individual floweret's that grow together to form the entire fruit. Each
scale on a pineapple is evidence of a separate flower.
Pineapples
stop ripening the minute they are picked. No special way of storing
them will help ripen them further. Colour is relatively unimportant in
determining ripeness. Choose your pineapple by smell.If it smells
fresh, tropical and sweet, it will be a good fruit.
The more scales on the pineapple, the sweeter and juicier the taste.
After you cut off the top, you can plant it. It should grow much like a sweet potato will.
This
delicious fruit is not only sweet and tropical; it also offers many
benefits to our health. Pineapple is a remarkable fruit.
We find
it enjoyable because of its lush, sweet and exotic flavor, but it may
also be one of the most healthful foods available today. If we take a
more detailed look at it, we will find that pineapple is valuable for
easing indigestion, arthritis or sinusitis.
The juice has an anathematic effect; it helps get rid of intestinal worms.
Let's look at how pineapple affects other conditions.
Pineapple
is high in manganese, a mineral that is critical to development of
strong bones and connective tissue. A cup of fresh pineapple will give
you nearly 75% of the recommended daily amount.
It is particularly helpful to older adults, whose bones tend to become brittle with age.
Bromelain,
a proteolytic enzyme, is the key to pineapple's value. Proteolytic
means "breaks down protein", which is why pineapple is known to be a
digestive aid. It helps the body digest proteins more efficiently.
Bromelain is also considered an effective anti-inflammatory.
Regular ingestion of at least one half cup of fresh pineapple daily is purported to relieve painful joints common to osteoarthritis. It also produces mild pain relief.
In Germany, bromelain is approved as a post-injury medication because it is thought to reduce inflammation and swelling.
Orange
juice is a popular liquid for those suffering from a cold because it is
high in Vitamin C. Fresh pineapple is not only high in this vitamin,
but because of the Bromelain, it has the ability to reduce mucous in the
throat. If you have a cold with a productive cough, add pineapple to
your diet. It is commonly used in Europe as a post-operative measure to cut mucous after certain sinus and throat operations.
Those
individuals who eat fresh pineapple daily report fewer sinus problems
related to allergies. In and of itself, pineapple has a very low risk
for allergies.
Pineapple is also known to discourage blood clot
development. This makes it a valuable dietary addition for frequent
fliers and others who may be at risk for blood clots.
An old folk
remedy for morning sickness is fresh pineapple juice. it really works!
Fresh juice and some nuts first thing in the morning often make a
difference.
It's also good for a healthier mouth. The fresh juice discourages plaque growth.
