Heart Healthy
Pineapple juice contains ample amounts of potassium, as well as bromelain. Both of these may help improve heart health because they assist in preventing blood clots. Together, potassium and bromelain may also promote better circulation and ease tension in the blood vessels.
Pineapple juice may generally improve cardiovascular health when consumed regularly or in moderate amounts. In turn, drinking this fruit juice may help protect against heart attack, strokes and other heart-related illnesses.
