<h3><strong>1. Benefits for skin health</strong></h3>

<p><a href="https://www.pulse.ng/lifestyle/beauty-health/3-things-you-can-do-with-pineapple-peels/xw0b9f1">Pineapples contain an enzyme called bromelain</a> which helps reduce inflammation. This can help prevent acne, rashes, and other skin problems. Pineapples are also rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which help fight sun damage and uneven skin tone. Regularly eating pineapple can make your skin look brighter and healthier.</p>

<h3><strong>2. Strengthens bones</strong></h3>

<p>Pineapples are high in manganese, a mineral that is crucial for bone health. Manganese helps maintain strong bones and, when combined with other minerals like zinc and calcium found in pineapples, it can boost bone strength. This is particularly important for women as they are more prone to bone issues as they age.</p>

<h3><strong>3. Promotes hair growth</strong></h3>

<p>Pineapples can help your hair grow stronger and healthier. They are rich in vitamins like vitamin C, B1, and B6, which are essential for hair health. </p>
