Boosted Immune System Functioning
The vitamin C and B6 found in pineapple juice may help boost immune system functioning. The immune system is responsible for fighting off the outside invaders, such as bacteria and viruses, that make people sick.4‘The Immune System.’ Johns Hopkins Medicine, www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/the-immune-system.
A boosted immune system means people might get sick less frequently. When they do get sick, individuals with a strong immune system may be sick for shorter durations and be less ill than those with weaker immune systems.
