This stimulates the activation of enzymes responsible for destroying free radicals that progressively damage our bodies . Furthermore, it is a tropical fruit very suitable for consumption during the summer months due to its high cooling effect.

We mustn't forget that pineapple also has numerous benefits for the well-being of our heart, although excessive consumption is considerably toxic .
