http://www.karenrothnutrition.com Over indulging during the holiday meals can cause digestive upset. So instead of reaching for an antacid which many contain aluminum, may also lead to kidney stones, can block nutrient and mineral absorption, try some Pineapple. Pineapple contains active enzymes called bromelain that functions as a digestive aid. But it must be eaten raw, because cooked and canned pineapples contains no bromelain

Bromelain is a protein digesting enzyme, so eating a little pineapple 1-2 hours before or after eating a meal can support healthy digestion.

Pineapple can also reduce inflammation. So if you suffer from sore throats, arthritis, respiratory conditions, or bad sinuses, try adding this fruit to your diet for the anti-inflammatory qualities. When using this as an anti-inflammatory be sure eat it on an empty stomach so you get full effect.

Its an excellent source of vitamin C a powerful antioxidant. So full of flavor yet only 76 calories for one cup.

If youre intimidated to purchase pineapple, all you need to know is that if they should have a sweet aroma and feel heavy for their size, and give just slightly to pressure and theyre ready to eat. Dont bring one home that isnt ready to eat, because they dont ripen once picked.

I recommend eating pineapple raw and one of the best ways is in a fruit salad containing kiwi, mango and or papaya. But other ways you can incorporate this healthy fruit in your diet is by adding pineapple to marinades to help tenderize the meat, add to fruit smoothies, toss in salads, its delicious in chicken salads, and try a tropical salsa especially for those that have sensitivities to tomato based foods. Tropical salsas are delicious on baked fish and pork.

Ive included a recipe for an easy to prepare Pineapple salsa.

INGREDIENTS
•1/2 medium fresh pineapple, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch slices
•1 small red onion, diced
•2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced
•2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
•2 tablespoons lime juice
Combine all ingredients. Refrigerate for 30-60 minutes or until chilled.

Remember to take advantage of some raw pineapple on days that you know you will most likely overindulge.
