Here’s what’s in it and why it’s good for you:- Pineapples contain a digestive enzyme called Bromelain, which has a number of beneficial functions. It aids the digestive system by breaking down protein, while also cleansing the body of toxins – great for detoxification. In addition, Bromelain is a natural anti-inflammatory. Pineapples are rich in Vitamin A and C, as well as calcium, phosphorus and potassium. Vitamin C is an antioxidant which does loads of awesome stuff for your body: boosts your immune system, helps to synthesize connective tissue, etc. Pineapples also deliver high levels of manganese, which helps your body build bones and connective tissues.
- Peaches contain high levels of Vitamin C, as well as flavonoid polyphenolic compounds, including lutein, zeaxanthin and B-cryptoxanthin. Along with the Vitamin C, these antioxidants protect against damage from free radicals. Peaches can also help lower cholesterol.
- Apples are another great source of Vitamin C. They also contain ellagic acid, a liver stimulant, which can help with detoxification.
- Ginger is a digestive aid, which can sooth an upset stomach. Ginger also has anti-inflammatory properties, so it can reduce the redness produced by skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis and acne. It also boosts the immune system.
