Pineapples are tropical fruits that are rich in vitamins, enzymes, and antioxidants. They may help boost the immune system, build strong bones, and aid indigestion. The vitamins and minerals in pineapple could help shorten viral and bacterial infections while also strengthening your bones. Even though pineapple is sweet, it is low in calories.
