Food for Healing - Pineapples!

Thirst-quenching and cooling, pineapple is a good source of manganese, which can boost men's fertility, and contains significant amounts of vitamin C.  The core contains the proteolytic enzyme bromelain, a powerful anti-inflammatory used to treat bowel and joint problems. It inflammatory and astringent quality makes it a good choice for treating sore throats. The bromelain enzyme is an effective digestive aid, while using the juice as a marinade for meat dishes helps tenderize them, making it easier to digest.
Fresh is best, but fresh frozen also works 
The nutrients and enzymes disappear quickly once cut or cooked.  When ripe, almost to the point of spoilage the fruits antioxidant levels are at their highest.  Eat the core.  Bromelain enzymes concentrate in the fibrous core of the fruit. Juice It! The juice can help lower fever, sore throats, and acts as a natural expectorant.  Put it in a smoothie and get all of the benefits.
