Benefits of Pineapple Juice

5/31/2022

Pineapple juice isn’t just a delicious way to add some tropical flavor to your day, it also offers an impressive array of health benefits:

🍍 Improve Digestion - One of the unique things about pineapple is it contains digestive enzymes called bromelain, which can help remedy many different digestive issues. Additionally, they help break down proteins so they can be digested and absorbed easier and can even help protect against bacteria like E. coli.

🍍 Heart Health - The combo of vitamin C and bromelain in pineapple juice help your cardiovascular system by reducing free radicals and minimizing the risk of blood clots.

🍍 Lower Blood Pressure - Since it’s high in potassium and low in sodium, pineapple juice may help lower your blood pressure. When you consume potassium, it causes you to pass sodium in your urine. It also helps relieve tension in the walls of your blood vessels.

🍍 Reduce Inflammation - Bromelain has been found to be one of the best anti-inflammatories you can get from food and has been used as a way to help with sports injuries and even osteoarthritis.

🍍 Immune Boosting - Pineapples are an excellent source of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, which can be a huge boost for your immune system.

🍍 Natural Antihistamine - Those suffering from allergy-based inflammation may get some relief from pineapple juice and its anti-inflammatory properties as it helps open pathways back up. Additionally, the bromelain can help break down mucus that may be irritating the respiratory tract.

🍍 Strengthen Bones - The bones and joints in our bodies do well when we’re getting good levels of manganese and one glass of pineapple juice contains 73% of your daily manganese requirement.

Amanda is a mother of three (10, 7, and 5) and has been married for 14 years. My weight loss journey started July 17, 2008, one day after my daughter's first birthday. Tipping the scales at 235 pounds at 5'3, being an over weight, over tired, out of shape role model no longer appealed to me and I knew it was time for a change. Three pregnancies later, I had lost a total of 105 pounds. I had run 2 marathons and dozens of half marathons. Something was missing. I was thin, but I wasn't fit. I wasn't healthy. I could feel it in my insides. I was 136 pounds and a size 8. Something didn't add up. I got my certification in personal training, nutrition, weight management, and dove into supplementation and whole foods. 90 days later, I gained 10 pounds and lost two pants sizes (8 to a 4).

Continuing on this path, all of my clients wanted to know how I was doing it. I always dreamed of creating a business that truly added value to people and improved their health. My husband, Grant, and I decided it was time to take that leap.

December 9, 2016, Simply Prepped Meals was born. Based around the mission of providing whole food based nutrition to people's doorsteps, we set out to create a new idea that fast food didn't have to be expensive or bad for you. Six months later, we built our permanent location in Cynthiana, IN. Then, January 2, 2018, we entered into a partnership with the YMCA of Southern Indiana to continue spreading the word of meal prep and eating with purpose.

Amanda coaches individually as well as continues to drive their business. Any questions about personal coaching can be directed to her at [email protected]
