The Pineapple are a delicious tropical fruit that have been celebrated for centuries not only for their distinct and unique taste but also for their miraculous health benefits like their ability to improve respiratory health, cure coughs and colds, improve digestion, help you lose weight, strengthen bones, improve oral health, boost eye health, reduce inflammation, prvent cancers, increase heart health, fight off infections and parasites and improve immune system.
It is also a storehouse of huge health benefits due to its wealth of nutrients, vitamins and minerals, including potassium, copper, manganese, calcium magnesium, vitamin c, beta carotene, thiamin, B6, and folate, as well as soluble and insoluble fiber and bromelain. Pineapple has got various other health benefits like arthritis management.
The Pineapple that you are eating today is not what it should be, about 15 to 20 years, the same pineapple tasted so sweet and the health benefits that it provided then made it worthwhile to buy and eat pineapple but with time, the producers started altering the biochemical set up of the pineapple plants so that it is not prone to fungus and also to ensure that the tree grows up fast and produce pineapple at a more faster rate than before for the ever increasing demand and in this process, the current day pineapple that we are eating has lost over 80% of its health benefits and you will find that most of the pineapple in some countries do not even have the taste, let alone the health benefits that it is meant to have.
In current modernized era, all the the fruits and vegetables seeds have been tinkered around with in the name of more produce, protection from destruction, ensure that that it does not rot immediately, this tinkering around with fruits and vegetables seeds has to stop if there is to be slight improvement in our health.
So these are some of the side effects of modernization, yes modernization is required but not at the cost of our health, this is what citizens have to understand and the citizens have to come together under a common umbrella group and fight the elected government to change back to produce that caters to good health of the citizens.
