Her Health Pineapple Perks Milk provides the calcium to help keep bones strong.
Pineapple provides the manganese.
Manganese is a mineral that's used to make collagen, a strong protein that helps form the building blocks of bone, skin, and cartilage. Studies show that a diet deficient in manganese can lead to bone-weakening problems similar to osteoporosis. Pineapple not only helps keep your bones strong, the fruit also may aid in digestion. Fresh pineapple contains the enzyme bromelain, which breaks down proteins and can help protect against indigestion. All rights reserved.
