The POWER of Pineapple
The Healing Power of the Pineapple
If you want to give your body a jump start on healing, you may want to incorporate pineapples into your diet.
Pineapple is a very nutritious fruit. It’s packed with vitamins, minerals, fiber and enzymes, all of which accelerate the healing process.
The enzyme, Bromelain, is not found in too many edible fruits or vegetables, but pineapple is loaded with it. It’s high in Vitamin C, a very healing antioxidant in its own right. Pineapple boosts the immune system and enhances the bodies healing mechanisms.
Powerful anti-inflammatory effects of pineapple can reduce swelling, tenderness and pain, relieve rheumatoid arthritis symptoms and postoperative surgery swelling, relieve indigestion, builds and repairs body tissue, metabolizes fats and cholesterol, assists in absorbing iron, synthesizes amino acids and collagen (Collagen is a primary building block of skin, cartilage and bone. Collagen is what makes the skin look healthy and clear.), decreases severity of colds, flu and infections, destroys harmful bacteria in the stomach and intestines, reduces the risk of gingivitis and periodontal disease, effective in dissolving mucus, relives sore throats and bronchitis, reduces swelling from arthritis, gout, sore throat and acute sinusitis. The list goes on…..the benefits are vast.
I’ve been drinking 8 ounces of pineapple juice a day for at least 30 years. NOT the canned juice. Something happens to it during the canning process which reduces the healing qualities by 1/3 and it doesn’t taste as good, to me. I prefer the cartons of pineapple juice and the brand I really like is DOLE.
I attribute the fact that I heal so quickly, colds and flu (if and when I contract them) never last the normal amount of time, bruises disappear rapidly and when I’ve had surgery, swelling and bruising is minimal. Now, I never realized this until a dentist who performed oral surgery in me said, “You heal so fast”. He then showed me photos of other patients who were so black and blue from the same procedure, yet I had hardly a trace of bruising at all. I now know that I do heal fast. I also know it’s because of the healing properties of the pineapple juice that I drink on a daily basis.
Pineapple also contains micro-nutrients which some experts believe protect against cancer and break up blood clots too. So it’s beneficial to your heart as well. Pineapple Juice has been known to kill intestinal worms, relieve intestinal disorders and it soothes bile.
Finally, pineapple also contains chemicals that stimulate kidney function and assists in removing toxic elements from the body.
As you can see there are so very many benefits to pineapple juice. More added benefits: it also has minimal fat, low-sodium, zero cholesterol – and yet it’s still delicious.
One thing you do need to remember is that you should drink or eat pineapple between meals for optimum health benefits. If you partake along with your meal, or immediately following, all of the work that the pineapple does will be devoted to breaking down the foods you recently consumed and digesting them.
So, go ahead. Start incorporating pineapple into your diet today. You will definitely see results within just a few weeks.
Pineapple: healthy, nutritious and very tasty. It’s a great way to start your day!

It's a big work out there! Try this week to Goggle some information about a country you don't know much about. Read about it's customs, foods, landscape, etc. The more we know about other ways of life in the human community, the more we realize that were more alike than we are unalike.

The Daily Green's 2010 Dirty Dozen List
Most of us know, that buying organic food is expensive. We also know that in a tight economy, many people who may have bought organic before are now having to choose conventionally grown food to save money.
The Daily Green has a great list of conventionally grown foods to avoid buying.
If you have to make a choice, for budget reasons, try buying the organic versions of atleast these foods:
1. Meat- Raising animals with conventional modern methods often means using hormones to speed up growth, antibiotics to resist disease on crowded feed lots, and both pesticides and chemical fertilizers to grow the grain fed to the animals. Additionally, it takes many times the water and energy to raise one meal's worth of meat than it does one meal's worth of grain.
2. Milk- Pesticides and other man-made chemicals have been found in human breast milk, so it should come as no surprise that they have been found in dairy products, too. Twelve different pesticides have been identified in milk, and milk is of special concern because it is a staple of a child's diets.
3. Coffee- Many of the beans you buy are grown in countries that don't regulate use of chemicals and pesticides. Look for the USDA Organic label to ensure you're not buying beans that have been grown or processed with the use of potentially harmful chemicals.
4. Celery- Celery has no protective skin, which makes it almost impossible to wash off the chemicals that are used on conventional crops.
5. Peaches- Multiple pesticides are regularly applied to these delicately skinned fruits in conventional orchards.
6. Strawberries- If you buy strawberries out of season, they're most likely imported from countries that use less-stringent regulations for pesticide use. 59 pesticides have been detected in residue on strawberries.
7. Apples- Like peaches, apples are typically grown with the use of poisons to kill a variety of pests, from fungi to insects. Scrubbing and peeling doesn't eliminate chemical residue completely, so it's best to buy organic when it comes to apples. Peeling a fruit or vegetable also strips away many of their beneficial nutrients.
8. Blueberries- New on the Dirty Dozen list in 2010, blueberries are treated with as many as 52 pesticides, making them one of the dirtiest berries on the market.
9. Nectarines- With 33 different types of pesticides found on nectarines, they rank up there with apples and peaches among the dirtiest tree fruit.
10. Bell Peppers- Peppers have thin skins that don't offer much of a barrier to pesticides. They're often heavily sprayed with insecticides.
11. Spinach- New on the list for 2010, spinach can be laced with as many as 48 different pesticides, making it one of the most contaminated green leafy vegetable.
12. Potatoes- America's popular spud re-appears on the 2010 dirty dozen list, after a year hiatus. America's favorite vegetable can be laced with as many as 37 different pesticides.
