Eating pineapple may be particularly advantageous for women because its high vitamin C plays an important role in supporting healthy bones and reducing the risk of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a disease that is characterised by fragile or weak bones. Even though both men and women can get osteoporosis, it is more common in women.
Vitamin C is known to play an important role in bone health. Vitamin C stimulates the production of bone-forming cells and protect bone cells from damage. Thus, there is a reduced risk of osteoporosis.
Pineapple contains copper that is essential for red blood formation. During pregnancy, intake of copper will help improve blood flow. Pineapple is also a good source of vitamin B1, B6 and B9(folate). While they each have their individual roles, vitamins B in general are key for the development and proper growth of the baby. Pineapples contain small amounts of iron, zinc and calcium: all of which are important for a healthy pregnancy.
