Benefits of Pineapple in Fayetteville AR

Pineapples in particular have been shown to reduce inflammation. They grow in a very limited area of the world and have been used in traditional medicines in their native areas to reduce swelling and to help indigestion, a form of inflammation. Eating more fruits, which Dr. Myshka always encourages, brings you all kinds of nutrients you can't get from other sources and eating pineapples brings a special thing you can find nowhere else.

Bromelain is a compound found only in pineapples that some studies have found reduces inflammation throughout the body. A number of studies have been done about sinus and prostate inflammation and the effects of bromelain. Although some have been inconclusive, some studies have shown positive results. Pineapple also contains plenty of fiber and vitamins C and A, so it's a delicious, nutritious addition to your daily diet.

This doesn't mean you should just eat only pineapples. Make sure to get a wide variety of fruits in your diet because, like bromelain, many nutritional compounds are found in just a few things.

If you suffer from inflammation and find that movement isn't as easy as it once was, scheduling a consultation with Dr. Myshka will get you back on track to a healthy lifestyle. Call (479) 442-0676.
