It is very easy to add pineapple into your diet. Try for 1 serving a day, cubed or sliced on cereal, or as a snack combined with plain yogurt. Choose fresh pineapple or fresh pineapple juice whenever possible. This is because the processing of canned pineapple destroys some of its health-boosting enzyme.

High fiber intake of vegetbles and fruits are linked with a lowered risk of colorectal cancer. As per the American Cancer Society:
There are studies suggesting that bromelain, which is present in pineapple and other such enzymes may be used with standard cancer treatment. This is to help reduce some side effects, including throat and mouth inflammation due to radiation treatments.”

  2. I was diagnosed of RA in 2009. I was put on Naprosyn and after some time i didn't feel any different, so i started on a Natural Rheumatoid Arthritis Formula treatment protocol from RICH HERBS FOUNDATION (www. richherbsfoundation. com), the treatment made a great difference for me, it effectively treated my Rheumatoid Arthritis and symptoms. The swellings, stiffness, fatigue and joint/muscle/body pains has subsided, I feel better overall than i have felt in years.
